Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Sherlock Holmes in this fast-paced and thrilling supernatural Victorian mystery Newly arrived in New Fiddleham, New England, 1892, and in need of a job, Abigail Rook meets R. F. Jackaby, an investigator of the unexplained with a keen eye for the extraordinary--including the ability to see supernatural beings. Abigail has a gift for noticing ordinary but important details, which makes her perfect for the position of Jackaby’s assistant. On her first day, Abigail finds herself in the midst of a thrilling case: A serial killer is on the loose. The police are convinced it’s an ordinary villain, but Jackaby is certain the foul deeds are the work of the kind of creature whose very existence the local authorities--with the exception of a handsome young detective named Charlie Cane--seem adamant to deny.

Shape-shifters disguise themselves as a litter of kittens and their owner is found murdered with a single puncture wound. Dinosaur bones from a recent dig go missing, and an unidentifiable beast starts attacking animals and people. Charlie calls on Abigail for help, and soon Abigail and Jackaby are on the hunt for a thief, monster, and a murderer.
