The Case of the Silent Scream
ByPublisher Description
A missing socialite. A cursed relic. A secret that shatters the laws of physics.
London, 1899. In a city of gaslight and shadows, the line between science and the occult is thinning.
A wealthy art collector has been missing for seven years, leaving behind a relic that defies rational explanation. For Detective Sergeant Sidney Wainwright, the case is a chance to understand the trauma of a recent ghostly haunting. But his reassignment brings a new nightmare: Inspector Frank Tarrant.
Tarrant is a bitter man by reputation—a loner, outcast by Scotland Yard. Yet, Wainwright discovers that Tarrant's incompetence is a mask. Behind it lies a man in a life and death struggle with the supernatural threats hidden within London's fog.
In this reimagined Victorian world, this unlikely paranormal detective duo reveal a hidden nightmare. A sinister discovery that can never be unseen.
This gripping Victorian Gaslamp mystery is perfect for lovers of:
- Sherlock Holmes and Supernatural Detectives: Vaughn Entwistle and mysteries with a paranormal edge.
- The Atmospheric and Gothic: Robert Louis Stevenson and Oscar Wilde.
- Gaslamp and Urban Fantasy: Genevieve Cogman, Ben Aaronovitch, and Oscar de Muriel.
