My Review:-When an American professor finds some diaries from the past, he feels it's his job to look at them in more detail. The diaries were those that John Ledbury had wrote. It's not long before the professor finds some of the cases are unsolved. He decides to look into the cases in more detail, but to do that he must look back in time. The Counterfeit Detective is a dual timeline story.  I feel we have a mixture of fact and fiction, sometimes the two are weaved so close together you're not sure which is which. The way the story is wrote shows just how good of a writer Simpson Grears is.
