In 1870s Paris, long before meeting his Dr Watson, the young man who will one day become the world’s greatest detective finds himself plunged into a mystery that will change his life forever.
A brilliant man—C. Auguste Dupin—steps from the shadows. Destined to become his mentor. Soon to introduce him to a world of ghastly crime and seemingly inexplicable horrors:
- The spectral tormentor that is being called, in hushed tones, The Phantom of the Opera . . .
- The sinister old man who visits corpses in the Paris morgue . . .
- An incarcerated lunatic who insists she is visited by creatures from the Moon . . .
- A hunchback discovered in the bell tower of Notre Dame . . .
- And — perhaps most shocking of all — the awful secret Dupin himself hides from the world.
Tales of Mystery, Imagination, and Terror
Investigated in the company of the darkest master of all.
"While I’ve read plenty of Sherlockian pastiches... few collections have proven to be such a treasure trove of quality and originality as this one. Here is my review. Seven words. Buy it. Read it. Luxuriate in it... (A) wonderful gift for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Victorian-era genre fiction, or any lovers of 19th-century weirdness" Ann Laabs, Horrified Magazine
