Physician Arthur Conan Doyle is invited to take a break from his practice to assist London police in tracking down Jack the Ripper. Doyle agrees, with the stipulation his old professor of surgery, Dr. Joseph Bell––Doyle’s inspiration for Sherlock Holmes––agrees to work with him. Soon the two are joined by Margaret Harkness, an author who knows how to use a Derringer as well as she knows the dank alleys and courtyards of the East End where she resides. Pursuing leads through London and Whitechapel becomes infinitely more dangerous for the trio when the hunters become the hunted in this adventurous debut novel and series starter.

Women are dying in Baltimore, but Detectives Mankiller and Ruiz’s only lead is a washed-up ex-boxer rambling incoherently about a dragon. How far can they—should they—push the old man to find out what he thinks he saw while in the cocoon of a bottle? The paths of the witness, the cops, and the murderer will inevitably collide if what is right stands in the way of saving the next life. Set in the streets and around the waters of Baltimore and perfect for fans of James Patterson, Stuart MacBride, and Michael Connelly, this atmospheric police procedural thriller posits how far the ends should justify the means.
