Miss Loveday Brooke, an unusual young woman, worked for Ebenezer Dyer, head of a detective agency in Lynch Court, London. Dyer soon enough finds out that behind an meek, nondescript exterior (good for disguises) is an keenly observant eye and brain; and one who can give as good as she gets.
Incidentally, this was one of the last works of Pirkis, who, much like her heroine, didn't much care for either money or the marriage market. Her last few years were devoted to animal welfare and anti-vivisectionist projects.
