Brilliant. Well done PD, I can’t wait to read it. I predict a wave of imitators. How about Rebus on the trail of Burke and Hare? Come on Ian, give it a try. How about you Sandy? Mma Ramotswe investigates the death of David Livingstone? As for me, I can’t wait to get my hands on Treasure Island. Imagine, Skinner (he has this thing about boats) on board the Hispaniola. I never did trust that man Trelawney. And as for Doctor Livesey! What was in the Black Spot? Was it instant acting polonium? Was Bill Bones poisoned? Was Blind Pew really Blind, or should he have been Partially Sighted But Can See Enough To Murder Pew?? How did Long John Silver lose his leg? Why was Jim in the apple barrel? Go for it, Big Man!

Or, Carol Jordan and Tony Hill investigating Jack the Ripper?
Actually the one real crime I have always wanted to see solved is the disappearance of Ginette Tate when I was a child. It affected my mother very much, imagining what Ginette’s parents went through and has stayed in my mind ever since, just sitting there at the back as an ever-present tenant. I can remember her photo very clearly. I think we need someone like Wexford on it.
No, you need a real detective team. This is a real crime or recent years; as would be its factionalisation. Maybe Tony is JtR, or a descendant of. Must ask Val.
Oh but don’t forget QJ, Patricia Cornwell solved the Jack the Ripper case – just, as they say, like that!
Respect to the lady, but it was the Duke of Clarence.
