Werewolf for Hire: The Ring of Thoth
A werewolf detective. An immortal curse. A race against time through the dark heart of Victorian Europe.
Adelaide "Addy" Spencer thought she was applying for a respectable position as a stenographer. Instead, she found herself working for Mordecai Black—London’s most unusual investigator. His sign reads: Mordecai Black, Werewolf for Hire. And in a city teeming with secrets, that’s exactly the sort of expertise some clients desperately need.
When a routine investigation at the British National Museum turns deadly, Addy is swept into a world of supernatural danger. Alongside Mordecai, an immortal Egyptian guide, and unexpected allies including Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, she must navigate vampire-infested castles, moonlit hunts, and deadly conspiracies that span from the fog-shrouded streets of London to the shadowed passes of the Carpathians.
Addy finds herself in a state of eternal youth. But immortality has a price. And for Addy, the cost may be her very humanity.
Blending gothic mystery, historical adventure, and supernatural suspense, Werewolf for Hire: The Ring of Thoth will transport readers into a richly imagined world where Victorian manners meet otherworldly threats, and where wit and courage are as vital as silver bullets.
Perfect for fans of: supernatural detective fiction, Sherlock Holmes pastiches, gothic thrillers, and historical fantasy filled with intrigue, dark humour, and heart.
Werewolf for Hire: The Ghost of Goresthorpe Grange
There are dark mysteries in Victorian London. Many events do not reach the papers or are misreported, as they appear too strange to be taken seriously. The murky threats are largely ignored.
Sherlock Holmes is just beginning his career as a consulting detective, but he puts no stock in the supernatural and attributes everything to natural causes that may be discovered through intellect and an examination of the facts.
Addy Spencer used to be of the same mind. At least, until she comes to work for Mordecai Black, a private investigator with a self-proclaimed title of “Werewolf for Hire.” Events during their case analysis lead Addy to doubt her senses, and she launches her own investigation as to whether her employer is a real werewolf or not.
If the supernatural truly exists, there is a pressing need for someone to take the cases that Sherlock Holmes refuses.
