The Axel Files: Florence's Floozy Who Will Find The Savola Diamond, And Who Will Die Trying? What would you do to be rich? Not just rich, but fabulously rich. Perhaps you are that unique soul that has no dreams, no aspirations, no agenda... well if you are, good luck. It must be a very dreary existence. But if you're like the rest of us, you have a fantasy, a vision of what could be, of what you could be. Maybe that dream is selfish, or maybe it's altruistic, or maybe... it's extremist. What if there was a family jewel, an exquisite 133-carat pink piece of perfection, a diamond that historically belonged to you, and what if that gem was stolen and disappeared for eighty years? And what if, rumour had it, that diamond suddenly reappeared? What lengths would you go to get it back? And what if the person who stole that diamond promised it to some very bad people so he could get his family to safety during a war. And what if that person was murdered for making that Faustian deal that he refused to deliver on? What if... What if... When people are desperate, when people run out of options, when people have no other place to go... who do they turn to? Perhaps to a man like Axel Webb. Why? Just ask him. He'll tell you: "I find things; I find out things about things, and I find evidence of things." So it's not surprising that an exiled Italian Conte and his wife, a pair of religiously motivated social extremists, and the great-granddaughter of the man who stole the gem all find their way to Axel Webb's office. International intrigue, religious extremism, self-preservation, and murder are all facets of the glittering pink prize. Who will find it, and at what cost? Or does it even still exist?

The Axel Files: The History of Cardenio Vero Nihil Verius People find comfort in their histories. It connects them to a continuum that we are all a part of and thus gives us purpose and hope. Children who've been adopted invariably need to know who they are, where they came from, and how they are connected to the world. But what if it was all wrong? What if everything you thought you knew was a lie: an obfuscation designed to mislead? If this happened to you: wouldn't you demand the truth? Wouldn't you need to know who you really were? And so, English artist Alice Bulbeck and her twin brother Edward approach Axel Webb to find a lost Shakespeare play entitled The History of Cardenio. The play, performed only once for James I, has been lost for four hundred years. It wasn't included in the 1623 First Folio published by Shakespeare's friends after his death. It is the only known play credited to William Shakespeare that has never been published. The question is, why? Controversy has surrounded the authorship of the Shakespeare plays ever since they were written four centuries ago. Many of the Bard's contemporaries have been put forward as the actual author of the plays; one such man is Edward de Vere, the Earl of Oxford, formerly known as Viscount Bulbeck. So why are orphaned twins, born to a Shoreditch bag lady known as Mad Alice, named Edward and Alice Bulbeck. It is the question the twins ask private investigator Axel Webb to answer. If Axel can find Cardenio, he'll discover the truth. But history is not the truth: history is a sloppy goulash of fact, fable, and self-interest. Those whose interests will be tarnished will do anything to stop the truth from coming into the open. One such man is Theo Payne-Foster, CEO of Payne-Foster Publishing, the leading publisher of everything and anything to do with the man we call William Shakespeare. If the truth of who wrote The History of Cardenio ever comes out, it will cost Payne-Foster a fortune. And so, he will do anything to stop that from happening. His main obstacle, the man he must stop, is Axel Webb.

Little Frankie Darling wants revenge, Asami Sato wants her inheritance, and Oyabun Kitsune wants the magic artifact hidden in the one-hundred-and-fifty-year-old cherrywood box. They each pay investigator, Axel Webb, to find the box, but things are not always what they seem, and people always lie to conceal their secret agendas. Two seemingly disparate events, oceans and years apart, cause ripples of consequences that reverberate around the world until they come crashing down on Axel Webb's desk. Axel will do just about anything for a buck, but when Little Frankie and his wooden pal come calling. Axel turns them down. Little Frankie Darling wants Axel to find the men that killed his Pops, that's all, just find them; he'll do the rest. But when Axel asks him what that means, Little Frankie tells him the truth: "Axel, old buddy, I'm going to kill the bastards. That's what I'll do the rest means." As I said, Axel will do almost anything for money, but setting someone up to get whacked isn't in his job description. Webb's specialty is finding things, not people, things that have been lost, stolen or misappropriated by some nefarious means. So when Asami Sato interrupts Axel's breakfast with a case that involves purchasing a cherrywood box of historic Shunga woodblocks, Axel takes the bait. What Sato doesn't tell Axel is: she and Little Frankie are a thing: a very odd thing indeed, considering Little Frankie only speaks through an antique ventriloquist's dummy, but who's to say what attracts people? Infidelity, murder, war, earthquakes, and historic treasures lead Axel from a swanky Toronto hotel to an Oyabun's Tokyo headquarters and on to a high-octane London auction house; in search of what really is hidden in the cherrywood box.

In my business, you meet all kinds of people; some, let's call them civilians, are ordinary, what the politicians call "folks;" then there are the characters, the peculiar sorts, people with strange peccadilloes: what an old friend of mine might call, "people who scare the horses." Some, let's call them "the desperate: " come to me because they find themselves in a situation, sometimes of their own making and other times... well... let's just say, imposed upon them. In each case, they have secrets: something they'd like to hide from the authorities and me, things like felonies, misdemeanours, mishaps, or misunderstandings. These cases are always about one of two things: money or women, but sometimes neither money nor women come in the form you'd expect, which brings me to the case of "Finding Lunia." It all started one day when Jacob Lerner, a young Aussie artist nicknamed Garbo, walked into my office carrying a painting. Not just any canvas, but a masterpiece he claimed he'd found in the trash in a Montmartre back alley. If the artwork was the original, it was one of five masterpieces stolen from the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris on a warm Spring night in 2010 by the renowned second-story burglar, L'Araignée, The Spider. The painting is a Modigliani portrait of Lunia Czechowska, one of five expressionist masterpieces stolen by L'Araignée and supposedly dumped in the trash by a nervous associate who was supposed to hold onto the canvases for safekeeping, not that anyone in their right mind believed someone would throw one hundred million dollars worth of art into the trash. Usually, I am hired to find some lost, stolen or misappropriated object, but in this case, the item found me, or so my Aussie client claimed. If you believe the story that played out in a Paris courtroom in 2017, then it would make sense to believe the story told to me by Jacob Lerner. All I had to do was prove the painting wasn't a forgery. The trouble is twenty percent of the canvases in the world's most prestigious museums are fakes, and Modigliani is one of the most frequently forged artists. Money and women: this case involves both, but not necessarily in the ways you'd expect. Axel Webb, Private Investigator

The Man With 21 Faces is back. Private Detective Axel Webb is called to Japan by his Yakuza partner and friend, Hibiki Sato, to help the authorities find who's behind the new threats. Axel's expertise is finding lost, stolen, or misappropriated relics of great value, not people. However, the Japanese Naichō and PSIA requested his unofficial help in solving the problem. Axel has no choice but to help. The Man With 21 Faces has remained silent for forty years. But in 1984, his crime spree involved kidnapping, property destruction, corporate harassment, product poisoning, and demands for ransoms, none of which were ever collected. The Man With 21 Faces may not have profited from his crime, but he did almost bankrupt two giant snack food and baby food manufacturers by randomly poisoning packages of their products. The failure of the police to capture The Man With 21 Faces was so damaging to the public's confidence in the authorities that the police Superintendent in charge of the investigation committed suicide by setting himself on fire. Now, after forty years, The Man With 21 Faces is back, and this time he means to collect. Like most of Axel's cases, the solution lies in the forgotten history that predates the 1984 incidents, a history forgotten by the public and the authorities but not by those who suffered from corporate greed, court corruption, and a government coverup that ruined thousands of lives. For The Man With 21 Faces, revenge is a bitter treat.

The Axel Files: The Disappeared Honjo Masamune Investigator Axel Webb is hired by a Japanese Naichō Agent on the recommendation of his Yakuza friend, Hibiki Sato, to find the Honjō Masamune katana that was last seen in 1945 when it was taken from a Mejiro Police Station by a U.S. Army Sergeant. The Sergeant's name was recorded by the police in Japanese. Years later, it is translated back into English. Unfortunately, there is no record of anybody by that name serving in Japan during the post-war Occupation. The katana is not just any sword; it is considered the most perfect sword ever made. It is also a symbol of the Tokugawa shogunate. The Japanese government does not want the lost National Treasure and ancient cultural symbol to fall into the hands of a newly formed Neo-fascist political party determined to gain power and return the country to its pre-war policies. The new political party, the Meiyo Aru Dōmei, is an alliance of fourteen of the most extreme right-wing groups, including politician Junichi Kato, Leader of the Azuna-tō, Yakuza, Fukashi Nakamura, Kumichō of the Meiyo-kai, and Daizō Hokama, Leader of the alliance, the Meiyo Aru Dōmei. Hokama wants to use the lost Honjō Masamune katana as a rallying symbol that his followers and the public can get behind. A Toronto podcaster becomes interested in the lost sword. During his research, he works out the correct name of the Sergeant who picked up the sword from the police station. He announces he'll reveal the soldier's name in his next podcast, but he is murdered before getting the chance. The podcaster's daughter hires Axel to find out who killed her father. Axel and one of Hibiki's closest associates, a sumo-sized Yakuza known as, Ōotoko, track the sword to a Buffalo gangster, Jimmy Kowalski. But the sword is stolen from him by Nakamura's men before Axel and Ōotoko can negotiate a deal. Axel and Ōotoko must deny the extremists their symbol and return it to the government, but the Naichō aren't the only ones that want the sword. Buffalo gangster, Jimmy Kowalski, wants his sword back, no matter the cost. And Daizō Hokama will do anything, including murder, to keep it.
