A Knife in the Fog (2018)
(Margaret Harkness and Arthur Conan Doyle, book 1)
Bradley Harper
"Entertaining and meticulously researched, A Knife in the Fog brings to vibrant life a gathering of historical figures—Arthur Conan Doyle, Joseph Bell, and Jack the Ripper—that will fascinate readers of both historical fiction and Sherlock Holmes. The dark streets of London’s East End have never felt more real or more dangerous."

The Bloody Black Flag (2017)
(Spider John Mystery, book 1)
Steve Goble
"A fast-paced mash-up of a rip-roaring pirate yarn mixed with a suspect-rich whodunit story. Gritty in detail, fanciful in conception, the novel is, above all else, a lot of fun."
