That's what they call Austen Knight.
A monsterous detective with little to-no money and a large set of brains to provide for himself, Austen Knight walks the streets of London, a known enemy to every criminal. He can solve even the toughest of cases, and it brings joy to him. Go out, capture them, be home in time for his maid to cook him dinner. It was an easy life, as easy as anyone can get being the most hated man in London.
Until, one day, when he gets a visit from the king.
Tasked with twenty-one days to bring back the kings missing daughter Princess Mary, Austen finds himself roped into a challenging situation.
Armed with nothing but his wits, his power, and a fearless, annoying, secretary, Austen finds himself doing the one thing he never thought possible.
Taking to the streets.
