The Hollows
Midnight Gunn is no ordinary detective- born during a solar eclipse as Halley's Comet blazed a trail through the sky- his supernatural birthright is both a help and a hindrance when solving crimes. Detective Inspector Arthur Gredge, of Scotland Yard, is the only one who knows Gunn's secret.
When the body of a young aristocrat is discovered in a backstreet alley, Gredge enlists Gunn’s help in a race to discover the identity of the notorious Spring-heeled Jack- the monster that is terrorising London.
A trail of clues and victims leads them to discover the horrifying truth behind the killing.
The Barghest
A murder, a terrifying creature, and a battle for his affections were not what Midnight Gunn expected when he journeyed to Scotland for the summer. Bodies are mysteriously disappearing from the city morgue, Midnight’s growing household is in turmoil and someone or something lurks in the shadows, watching. When the net closes in around his heart and his daughter disappears, Midnight calls on Scotland Yard’s finest, Inspector Arthur Gredge, to aid in the hunt for the Barghest
The Draugr
Detective Inspector Arthur Gredge of Scotland Yard is a changed man, and not for the better it seems. The prime suspect in a terrible crime he did not commit, Gredge launches an impassioned defence. The problem is that he does not know if he is guilty or innocent.
Midnight Gunn must uncover the cause of Gredge’s unsettling behaviour before the Inspector loses his mind, his job, or very possibly his life. It is a task that must be conducted with the upmost caution as Midnight’s own conduct comes under close scrutiny from all directions, putting his entire existence, and that of those he loves at risk.
A Portrait of Death
Immortal detectives Elliott Caine and Abernathy Thorne have spent centuries searching through time for the reincarnations of their murdered wives. When they are called upon to investigate a brutal double murder committed during a weekend house party, they uncover far more than the usual web of murder and mystery.
The Case of the Curious Client
The Bow Street Society are hired by Mr Thaddeus Dorsey to locate a missing friend he knows only as ‘Palmer’ after he fails to keep a late night appointment with him. With their client’s own credibility cast into doubt mere minutes after they meet him, the Society are forced to consider whether they’ve been sent on a wild goose chase. Until events take a dark turn, and the Society have to race against time to save the very life of their client…
Black December
A senior detective’s investigation into the murder of a Benedictine monk is met with closed ranks and a Vatican emmisary makes DCI Brendan Moran's work even harder.
Events take a more sinister turn when he uncovers a decades-old crime and finds himself targeted by a ruthless adversary. The Vatican sends an emmisary and the dooord close futher
