Barnaby Grimes is a tick tock lad, running errands in his city, day and night, and high stacking' around the rooftops in search of new mysteries to solve. In this first adventure, Barnaby is attacked one night by an enormous dog. He kills it but that's not the end of this particular mystery as Barnaby finds himself swept up in a world of crooked doctors, poor and ill advised patients, strange tonics and very expensive furs. Could there be more to the seemingly respectable Dr Cadwallader and the tonics he doles out to the poor?
