The Counterfeit Madonna

The Narratives of Andreas Tweakenston is a short story series that takes place in England during the 1880's. Tweakenston is a middle-aged, somewhat bored accountant who quite often imagines what his life would be like if he could operate in the American West ( finding employment as a cowboy in Texas or a lawman in Arizona ). Although well liked by the others in the community, no one can ever pronounce Tweakenston's name properly. Sharp witted & with too much time on his hands, Andreas often believes that he has solved some major crime in the city and is off to see Constable Stubbs & Detective Dodd with lifelong friend Archibald Buxton III following on his heels.
