The Casebook of Lucius Leffing

Lucius Leffing: Book 1

Joseph Payne Brennan

Lucius Leffing, the sarsaparilla-sipping occultist private detective and psychic investigator who resides at Number 7 Autumn St, New Haven, and collects antique glass, investigates bizarre happenings. The forty or so stories comprising the Lucius Leffing canon are amongst Brennan's best-loved work. They are clearly affectionately akin to the Holmes and Watson stories of Conan Doyle, and to the Solar Pons and Parker stories of August Derleth. In the stories, Leffing's adventures are chronicled by his protege and friend - Brennan himself.
