During the four years his detective father is in a coma, Darkus Knightley memorizes all his cases. When his dad unexpectedly awakens, the two team up to investigate the Combination, a shadowy criminal organization, and The Code, a book that prompts ordinary people to commit crimes. Set in modern-day London, Gavin's series-opener has an entertaining Holmes-ian influence and enjoyably quirky characters.
