What if Sherlock Holmes never truly defeated the Baskerville Hound?
What if they're still embroiled, still vying, still wrestling for control?
Varti Weller's promising career as a badge ended the day he was cursed by an Olde Childe to only speak in lies. While others from his cohort protect the city, Varti's consigned to the evidence lockers in the Bastion's several basements. Until a string of grisly murders bring him face-to-face with a monster and a legend and a job offer.
Because Sherlock Holmes is in fresh need of a new assistant. And the job can be Varti's, so long as he outdoes every other badge-and a foreign rival with designs on Holmes-by proving that the centuries-old detective isn't a murderer.
A steampunk mystery. An alternate history.
Cozy suspense with a paranormal twist.
