A man awakes in hospital, without any idea of who he is or his past. A visitor tells him he's a police inspector; the visitor is his boss, and dislikes him. He's had an accident. When he returns to work, he's given a job he has no idea how to solve. A Crimean war hero has been murdered. Among those he meets is a woman who rubs him very much the wrong way, though he's attracted to her married sister. The abrasive woman was a nurse in the Crimea, and is able to help him solve the case. The amnesia isn't solved, though a few memories return. He does learn that he too is abrasive and doesn't like himself much. The is the first in a long series of mysteries that begin in Victorian London. Read them in order.
