Description

An atmospheric Victorian detective mystery with a paranormal twist. This debut novella is for lovers of Sherlock Holmes and historical fantasy alike...

It is 1899 and a wealthy art lover has been missing for seven years. A shocking secret hides within his collection. One that defies rational explanation. Enter an unlikely duo of Special Branch detectives.

Young, troubled and the recent victim of a ghostly haunting, Sidney Wainwright is reassigned to the mean spirited Frank Tarrant. Inspector Tarrant is a loner, notorious for his incompetence. Yet on their first case together, Wainwright learns his new superior is much more than he appears. Awaiting them is a sinister discovery that cannot be unseen.

This fast-paced yet intimate first person account by DS Wainwright, the first entry into the Curious Cases series, is perfect for fans of classical gothic adventure novelists like Robert Louis Stevenson and Oscar Wilde. Readers of historical and urban fantasy from the likes of C. J. Archer, Katie Lumsden, Genevieve Cogman, Laura Purcell and Sarah Painter will also love to curl up with this series.

Sidney Wainwright's alter ego is an author of fiction living in the South of England in the twenty-first century. Away from his writing, he is an administrative clerk and ferroequinologist. His love of history and mystery inspired the world of the Curious Cases. He often wonders whether he created Sidney or if Sidney created him.
