Victorian London harbours many secrets: alien visitors, strange
phenomena and unearthly powers. But a trio of investigators stands
ready to delve into such mysteries - the Great Detective, Madame
Vastra; her resourceful spouse, Jenny Flint; and their loyal valet,
Strax. If an impossible puzzle needs solving, or a grave injustice
needs righting, help can be found on Paternoster Row. But even
heroes can never escape their past...Contains three new adventures
- 1.Dining with Death by Dan Starkey. When negotiations between two
warring alien races are sabotaged, Madame Vastra offers Paternoster
Row as neutral ground upon which to continue their diplomacy –
and the celebrate the treaty with a feast. While Strax frets about
hosting two species with very different dietary needs, Jenny
investigates the dissenters who want to halt the peace process. But
a deadly plot is brewing, and the diners way not survive the cheese
course...2.The Screaming Ceiling by Guy Adams. In one of the
earliest cases of his illustrious career, Thomas Carnacki heads to
the Highlands to embark upon the terrifying investigation of Castle
Kraighten. On arrival, he finds that another party of sleuths has
been engaged – surely these amateurs of Paternoster Row have
nothing to teach the great Ghost Finder? But this is no ordinary
haunting. A room in the castle has a mouth in the ceiling. And it
screams...3. Spring-Heeled Jack by Gemma Arrowsmith. People are
being stolen from the streets by a monster. By all accounts, it has
burning eyes, breathes blue flames, and can leap the height of a
building at a bound. While Vastra and Jenny fend off an over-eager
member of the gutter press, Strax dives into dangerous waters.
