Miss Dark's Apparitions

Ghosts, grifters…and a missing heir in 1890s Europe. It's easier to conduct a séance when the dead aren't trying to contact you. As Molly Dark knows all too well, the problem with being able to see ghosts is that they never tell you what you wish to know. For instance, how a proper young lady like Miss Dark is supposed to support an impoverished family after her father has died a ruined man. Or how she is going to impersonate a missing princess long enough to steal a fortune out from under the collective noses of a whole family of royal monsters. Or exactly why the charming imposter claims to be none other than Grand Duke Vasily Nikolaevich, when he certainly isn't a prince…or a vampire. Alas, the dead normally have something far more unsettling to impart… Return to the Bête Epoque, an 1890s Europe ruled by monsters, in Miss Dark's Apparitions! Leverage meets The Parasol Protectorate in this whimsical historical fantasy caper. Includes a special note from the author.

A cursed diamond…a cyborg detective…and a gang of would-be jewel thieves in Victorian London! All her life, Molly Dark has been haunted by the restless dead-and now she's finally able to do something about it. When the rich and monstrous take what they want, Miss Dark and her crew steal it back. At least, that's the idea. In reality? In reality, the irritable inventor walks out, saying she doesn't believe in ghosts and has important scientific research to conduct. The charming ex-vampire prince is only waiting for the perfect opportunity to stab Molly in the back. The millionaire American prosthete she's decided to marry is also a celebrated amateur detective hunting for jewel thieves. And the fabulous cursed Noor-Jahan diamond isn't just the key to righting a decades-old wrong-it's the bait in a fiendish trap. Miss Dark's Apparitions continues with a rollicking historical fantasy heist perfect for fans of Leverage and The Parasol Protectorate! Rejoin Miss Dark in the haunted streets of 1890s London… Contains a special note from the author.
