He kills it – but that’s not the end of this particular mystery …as Barnaby finds himself swept up in a world of crooked doctors, poor and ill-advised patients, strange tonics and very expensive furs…Could there be more to the seemingly respectable Dr Cadwallader and the tonics he doles out to the poor? Is there a link between the tonic and the huge dogs – or possibly wolves – that are roaming the city at night?
When Barnaby’s old acquaintance Benjamin goes missing, Barnaby fears the worst for him, and decides to dig deeper…A fantastic romp through a Dickensian-style city, with a wonderful new hero in the guise of Barnaby.

#3 – Legion of the Dead
“The corpses swayed where they stood, their bony arms outstretched before them and tattered sleeves hanging limply in the foggy air. I smelled the sourness of the sewers about them; that, and the sweet whiff of death. Their sunken eyes bored into mine. I was surrounded. . . .”

A blood-curdling tale of greed and betrayal. Will Barnaby be defeated by the Legion of the Dead?
