About this ebook
It is July 25, 1864 when the good inspector James Wright is called to the chief inspector, as a murder suspect has asked for him by name. Unsure of what could be afoot, the inspector finds his good friend and sometimes ally the Count of Samerand cuffed in irons for the murder of a man. The count faces death if proven guilty, and the obvious affection the have for each other does not help the matter. How will the count save himself before he meets his end?

I was born in Springhill Nova Scotia to David and Wendy Porter. Through most of my life I have dreamed of publishing my own works, since as far back as I can remember I have always created stories in my mind, and on rare occasion shared them with others.My first work The Count of Samerand and The Ghost of Belgravia is a homage to Sir Aruther Conan Doyle and his Sherlock Holmes series. Though the count has deliberatively different character traits.
