Exclusive: Endeavor Content has acquired A Gentleman’s Murder, an Inkshares debut novel by Christopher Huang and will develop it for television. The novel is set in 1924 London and follows the investigation of a murder at a prestigious soldiers-only club. The victim, whose murder sets the story in motion, is Albert Benson, the Britannia Club’s newest club member and first non-soldier. He’s found stabbed in the club’s vault, the seemingly random contents of his safety-deposit box the only clues to his murder. When the detective assigned by Scotland Yard appears to be intentionally subverting the investigation, Lieutenant Eric Peterkin, one of the club members and a half-Chinese son of a British colonel, undertakes his own search for the truth—one that quickly points to a disappearance from the war and each of his fellow club members as potential killers.
