Elspeth Heyward has never met a puzzle she didn't want to solve, or an adventure she didn't relish. Taking Sherlock Homes as her benchmark, she is determined to be the best detective and monster hunter in London. Lars Andersen's ambitions aren't nearly as demanding. He just wants to stay alive, out of trouble, and out of jail. But when your partner likes guns and dynamite, that could be a challenge. Can he survive his new employment? The Case: Discover if a stone tower on their client's estate is haunted. It should be straightforward, but ghosts aren't all they find. When they dig up a body, they also unearth a murder and a tangle of secrets. Secrets they'd better unravel quickly before someone else dies. Set in an alternate, supernatural version of Victorian Britain, The Ghostly Tower is the first riveting story in the Heyward and Andersen, Consulting Detectives series.
