The Men in Dark Tweed were created on a whim while I was working on my current WIP novel, a Victorian Urban Fantasy entitled ’Lucifer Mandrake and the Hanoverian Proxy’ The new, somewhat nefarious Home Secretary sets up a plain clothes division of the young Metropolitan Police Force, reporting directly to him. They are a somewhat sinister group, because basically the main antagonist needed a bunch of shadow thugs…

They are however unerringly polite about it all…

That said, there is a line, this may stray across it…

For those who may be interested all the art work I have used for these were drawn by Sidney Paget for long out of print Sherlock Holmes editions and/or the original strand magazine illustrations.
