1903 Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson have tickets to the newly
arrived Egyptian Circus. Holmes is puzzled by his brother
Mycroft’s cryptic gift but is intrigued enough to attend the next
production. The performers, dressed as wondrous half-animal,
half-human gods from Egyptian mythology, display superhuman agility
and stunts. But they speak no Arabic, sequester themselves in the
stables after each show and take orders from a mysterious ring
master who is yet to be seen. And then one of the performers is
murdered. Holmes’s enquires lead him to Montebank Manor, the home
of the beautiful and secretive socialite Dorian Gray. As Holmes
digs deeper, he learns Gray is hiding much more than his
involvement in a murder. It’s a darkly fantastical tale of lies,
experimentation, hypnosis and wicked ambition.
Sherlock Holmes is dead. His body lies in a solitary grave on the
Sussex Downs, England. But Dr. Watson survives, and is now given

first instalment of The Classified Dossier, a Transylvanian
nobleman called Count Dracula arrives at Baker Street seeking the
help of Sherlock Holmes, for his beloved wife Mina has been
kidnapped. But Dracula is a client like no other and Sherlock and
Watson must confront - despite the wild, unbelievable notion - the
existence of vampires. And before long, Sherlock, Watson and their
new vampire allies must work together to banish a powerful enemy
growing in the shadows....

Watson's lives are irrevocably changed. A Transylvanian nobleman
called Count Dracula arrives at Baker Street seeking Sherlock's

Bestselling Author on Shadows Over London The Black Shuck’s
forces gather just beyond the mist . . . Captain Justice Kasric
knows how complicated family can be. The escalating Human-Faerie
war has scattered and wounded her siblings and transformed her
parents beyond recognition. After narrowly escaping yet another
dangerous clash, fifteen-year-old Justice has had enough. She’s
determined to defeat the Black Shuck, the mysterious leader
controlling the Faerie invasion of London, but if Justice hopes to
stand a chance at victory, she’ll have to do the impossible:
reunite her family and lead them against the looming Faerie Armada.
With her mother and brother at the helm of the enemy fleet, and the
prophesized Seven Virtues slipping out of reach, Justice more than
has her work cut out for her. Even if she can save England, the
cost may be higher than she’s willing to pay.
The tides of the Faerie War are turning, but at how high a cost for
the Kasric family? Justice Kasric, her siblings, and her parents
are locked in combat on both sides of the Human-Faerie War. At
fifteen, Justice may be the youngest ever Admiral to command her
own ship and lead a resistance, but she has the magic and the will
to do it. If only nearly every other member of her family weren't
either in immediate danger of dying-or attempting to kill her!
Forced to make dangerous pacts with more than one unpredictable
ally, only Justice can decide how far she'll go to save London. Is
it worth sacrificing even a member of her own family
