John Dickson Carr: Fire, Burn! (UK 2013)

From the Publisher:
One October night in the middle of the twentieth century Detective Inspector John Cheviot got into a taxi, bound for New Scotland Yard. When he stepped out it was from a horse-drawn cab, the year was 1829, and a beautiful woman was beckoning him in front of Old Scotland Yard.

There were things Cheviot remembered but couldn't use - like how to analyse fingerprints; and things he didn't know that he could have used - like how advanced his romance with Lady Flora really was. And there wasn't even time to learn, because in the midst of helping Robert Peel establish the respectability and competence of his new police force, Cheviot suddenly finds himself and his lady accused of cruel murder.

From the Publisher:
"Just the sort of rare imaginings that Mr. Carr, the Grand Wizard, brings off so well." -- The Herald Tribune
One October night in the middle of the twentieth century Detective-Inspector John Cheviot got into a taxi, bound for New Scotland Yard. When he stepped out it was from a horsedrawn cab, the year was 1829, and a beautiful woman was beckoning him in front of Old Scotland Yard.

There were things he couldn't remember -- and things he didn't know -- like the state of his romance with Lady Flora. And then, while helping Bobbie Peel establish the respectability and competence of this newly organized poke force, Cheviot suddenly found himself and his lady accused of cruel murder!

"As history, as romance, as mystery, as detection the story is splendid, with an exact and detailed picture of the Yard's early days, an alluring love story, and copious action." -- Anthony Boucher, The New York Times Book Review
