THE WAY TO DUSTY DEATH
Book #4 in the Dr. William Scarlet Mysteries
A novel of ancient horror. When an archaeological team awakens an ancient demon whose task is to destroy its enemies . . . the evil entity begins to take its revenge on Victorian society.
The demon-goddesses’ task was to destroy all invaders. But they have been sleeping for 2,500 years . . . until the archaeologists open the Assyrian tomb. Then one of the team makes the biggest mistake of all—by completing the ritual that brings the deadliest of the immortals, Lamashtu, back to life in 1889.
Now “the daughter of Heaven, whose embrace is death,” has followed the scientists back to London, where she is eliminating members of the team, one by one. Scotland Yard medical examiner and psychic Dr. William Scarlet leads the pursuit to find the monster, now hunting innocent victims in the capital’s dimly-lit streets and alleyways. What he discovers will lead to an even darker secret—and a confrontation in a city of the dead with something that bullets can’t kill.
THE MASTER OF ILLUSION
Book #3 in the Dr. William Scarlet Mysteries
A tale of supernatural magic and murder. In this famous magic show, your fondest wish can come true! There's just one catch.
Victorian England, 1889. It's London's year of magic. The world's two greatest magicians—‘Marco the Magnificent’ and ‘The Master of Illusion’—are locked in a magic war.
But deaths begin to occur onstage. And when the famous ‘Your Fondest Wish’ act starts to predict the future as well as the past, Scotland Yard medical examiner and psychic Dr. William Scarlet realizes that one of the magicians is practicing more than just ordinary stage tricks and illusions.
YEAR OF THE RIPPERS
Book #2 in the Dr. William Scarlet Mysteries
The supernatural thriller that reveals the identity of Jack the Ripper!
"The novel is threaded with engrossing coverage of the Jack the Ripper murders. . . . The story shines as a procedural, with the author keeping the intrigue at a high by mingling medical and police reports with sharp descriptions of London's murky, claustrophobic streets at night. An unforgettably grim thriller that continues an exemplary series."
— Kirkus Reviews
"Gothic and irresistibly gory. Genard excels in conjuring the darkest alleyways, grisly wounds, and wounded hearts of London's East End, with a doomsday wordplay that will . . . delight."
— BookLife
London, August - November 1888. In London’s East End, prostitutes are being murdered by an unspeakable killer. ‘Jack the Ripper’ has written a taunting letter to the authorities. But the Whitechapel murderer remains as invisible as the night air—his stalking as silent as the screams the murdered women were never able to utter.
Scotland Yard and England’s government are powerless. But police surgeon and psychic Dr. William Scarlet sees a mysterious pattern emerging. Then another series of murders begins. This time, men are the victims: all killed in ways that defy description. And no one but Scarlet and medium Django Pierce-Jones suspects that the two sets of murders are connected to each other . . . and to dark rites long since abandoned. Or maybe not.
