Synopsis

Mr. Wheels has been a huge smash hit in Europe for decades. 160 volumes of fan fiction (!), three cinematic releases (including one in 2023), two TV series.

But never a peep in English!

Until now.

(drum roll)

Voice One, dramatic:

In 1310, King Philip the Fair of France, ever-short-of-cash, decided to rob the Sacred Order of the Knights Templar in order to steal their treasure. He accused them of devil worship and sodomy and burned them at the stake. But actually robbing them proved more difficult: sensing their impending doom, the crafty monks had buried their treasure. And really well, too: it has never been found. And it has been the object of dreams, obsessions, and treasure hunts ever since.

And now... in a caste in Scotland, a document comes to light, according to which that treasure has been buried... in a Teutonic castle in Poland!

Voice Two, calm and rational:

Unlike the English Sherlock Holmes or the French inspector Maigret, the Polish Mr. Wheels does not deal with perverse monsters, or serial killers, or cannibals; instead, he tracks gentlemen (and gentlewomen) thieves, forgers, and smugglers of... art. His mysteries come with the sort of original settings, fast action, humor, and attractive characters you expect from a mystery best-seller but also feature something unique: each has its own fascinating historical tale in the background.

Try it. It's just $2.99. We bet you will read the whole series.
