He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road let alone into the frantic city of nearby London, he can’t stand being touched, and he distrusts strangers. Christopher has just discovered his neighbor’s deceased dog, Wellington, on his front lawn. He is determined to solve the murder, and his detective work will lead him on a thrilling journey to uncover more secrets that will ultimately change his life forever.
