In 1890, the first Japanese diplomatic delegation will come in London to start an embassy. Cyrus Barker, private enquiry agent and infrequent agent for the Foreign Service Office, is enlisted to show his personal Japanese garden to the visiting dignitaries. Later that night, Ambassador Toda is shot and wiped out in his office and Cyrus Barker is uncovered next door, watching the same office, in ownership of a revolver with one spent cartridge. Imprisoned by the Special Branch for the offense, Barker is vigorously interrogated and finally released due to the involvement of his assistant, Thomas Llewelyn, and his solicitor. Along with the London constabulary still persuaded of his guilt, Barker is hired by the new Japanese ambassador to find the real murderer. In a circumstance that will take Barker and Llewelyn deep into parts of London's underworld, on pathways that lead profound into Barker's own inexplicable personal history, Old Results is the best possible yet in Will Thomas's critically acclaimed series.
