The Missing Detective
Unexpectedly promoted to detective after his boss's sudden disappearance, Charles Unwin begins his search. Read by Toby Jones.
Travis Sivart, 'the detective's detective' has gone missing. Raymond Chandler meets Kafka in this surreal tale of skulduggery and somnambulism.
Somewhere in an unnamed, rainy city, Charles Unwin, a lowly but efficient clerk in a big detective agency, finds his world turned upside down when his detective boss, Travis Sivart, disappears.
Unwin is suddenly promoted to the role - and forced out into the field for the first time in his life. Unprepared and untrained, armed only with his trusty umbrella and The Manual of Detection, he sets out on his first mission: to find out what happened to his boss.
Unwin begins a frantic search while all around him, Sivart's closed cases have sprung open again...
