About this book

A well-meaning young bookkeeper is recruited into a bizarre family business hunting spirits, only to find himself caught between supernatural dangers, a deadly conspiracy, and two people he desperately wants to protect. It's the year 1871, and an unlikely trio patrol the foggy, gaslit streets of London. The Professor: A brilliant, eccentric inventor who can unleash supernatural forces in pursuit of a breakthrough, then complain about the cost of the brandy needed for his recovery. Roberta Twickham: A fiercely capable mechanic and spirit-catcher who keeps her father, his business and half the supernatural world under control... usually without his help. Septimus Jones: A conscientious, inexperienced bookkeeper who stumbles into deadly supernatural dangers, falls in love, and gets blackmailed... while desperately trying to behave like a respectable gentleman. Often dead, or nearly. Now Septimus must choose which to betray before someone dies. "A steampunk version of Ghostbusters with just a dash of romance and mystery" - Hidden Gems reviews
