Murder in the British Museum

1894. Professor Lance Pickering is found dead in the gentlemen's restroom of the British Museum, the stall locked from the inside. He was supposed to give a speech dedicated to the new exhibition "The Era of King Arthur," but he received several stab wounds to the chest. The British Museum turns to private detective Daniel Wilson, known for his intellect and investigative skills, who is partnered with archaeologist Abigail Fenton. But soon the museum becomes the scene of another murder, and Daniel and Abigail, trying to save the museum's reputation and catch the killer, find themselves under pressure from pesky journalists, local vandals, and the fanatical Society of King Arthur. Jim Eldridge is a screenwriter and author. He sold his first sitcom to the BBC, which starred Arthur Lowe. The total circulation of his books has reached three million copies.
