Mr. Mystery

The Mystery of The White Tiger (Book 1)

Mr. Mystery is a mystery-fiction series written by Jim Aitchison under the pseudonym of James Lee (also the author of the Mr. Midnight series). Unlike Mr. Midnight, it has a fixed group of main characters. The series is published by Angsana Books. 23 "episodes" of the series have been published excluding Special Edition One released near Christmas in 2010 and the second Special Edition released near Halloween of 2012. There are now currently 3 SE (Special Editions). New "episodes" are usually planned for release every two to four months, together with Mr. Midnight books though rather infrequently. Since the release of book 12, the letterpage with a message from the author as well as announcement of prizewinners and preview of the next book has been removed, with the reason unknown.

Plot

The story is about 6 friends who run a detective company, named Soh & Co, in an old storeroom behind Alvin Soh's mother's jewelry shop. A large sign hangs outside proudly proclaiming:


                                        SOH & CO
                                      INVESTIGATORS
                                  We investigate anything
                                No case too big or too small

They are frequently roped into solving crimes that baffle the police by their suspicious clients, frowned upon by their friend in the police, Seargeant Soo, as well as Alvin's mother, Gracie Soh.
