Before Scotland Yard, there was Kitty and Brock.

Set in the twilight years before England had a police force to call its own, this is one case from the celebrated career of Irish investigators Kitty and Brock, whose reputation for solving crimes and finding the missing has taken them across England and Ireland.

Fresh from an assignment for Parliament in Westminster, the pair are pulled into a disturbing case in rural Surrey: a young woman attacked on her own family's land, a sack thrown over her head, her engagement ring torn from her finger. With no official force to call on, it falls to Kitty and Brock to piece together what happened, and why.

One of nearly forty cases in the Kitty and Brock investigation series, Robbery with a Rhyme is a fast-paced slice of Regency-era crime fiction for readers who love their historical mysteries sharp, atmospheric, and rooted in a world before modern policing existed.
