This time, Shalaby's cryptozoology connections land him a chance at real legitimacy if he can solve a rash of vandalism at the British Museum of Natural History. Do museum poachers really exist? Or do the strange thefts point to occult forces converging on one of Britain's most revered scientific institutions? Any how many problems can realistically be solved with Fecklace's foghorn-flamethrower (patent pending)?
Menacing taxidermy! A dark and sinister stranger! The delicate politics of London gentlemen's clubs! Join our heroes as they bicker, throw punches, and defile the halls of learning in a valiant attempt to resolve "The Affair at the British Museum."

If you've come to love Shalaby and Fecklace and their ill-considered crimefighting shenanigans, consider purchasing the upcoming compendium of all-new stories that will be available for sale in the Fall.
Shalaby and Fecklace: The Deterioration of All Propriety is a set of five separate hilarious mysteries woven together into one novel-length plot.
