Detective Chief Inspector Coburg and Sergeant Lampson are recovering from a devastating bomb attack on the Café de Paris when they receive a call asking them to go to the disused Lord's Underground station where the body of a man has been discovered outside the formerly busy station. The dead man was the victim of a brutal attack, beaten to death by what appears to have been a cricket bat. Could the dead man be associated with the British Empire XI, made up of players from Great Britain and far-flung corners of the globe, who are playing at the world-famous Lord's cricket ground? Coburg and Lampson are put in a spin by this complex case.

Daniel Wilson, who made his name investigating the case of Jack the Ripper alongside the formidable Inspector Abberline, is now working as a private enquiry agent. When the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge finds itself in need of urgent - and discreet - assistance, he is the natural first choice. The museum will soon unveil its new Egyptian collection, but strange occurrences have followed the exhibits to Britain including the discovery of a dead body in a previously empty sarcophagus. Aided by the talented resident archaeologist, Abigail Fenton, can Wilson unravel the mystery before the museum's public launch? Murder at the British Museum 1894, London. Professor Lance Pickering had been due to give a talk at the British Museum, when his brutally stabbed body is discovered. Daniel Wilson is called in to solve the mystery with the help and expertise of archaeologist Abigail Fenton.

Murder at the Ashmolean Museum 1895, Oxford. The Ashmolean Museum is a site of tragedy when a manager is found with a bullet hole between his eyes, a pistol discarded close by. Police have ruled the death as suicide but staff at the museum remain unconvinced. Daniel Wilson and Abigail Fenton's inquiries are hindered by an interfering lone agent from Special Branch, mislaid artefacts and a web of bureaucracy as the hunt for a dangerous killer intensifies. Murder at the Manchester Museum 1895. Former Jack the Ripper detective Daniel Wilson and his archaeologist assistant Abigail Fenton are summoned to investigate the murder of a young woman at the Manchester Museum. The case turns more sinister when the body of a second woman is discovered.

Murder at the Natural History Museum 1895, London. When the Museum Detectives are asked to investigate a vandalised dinosaur skeleton at the Natural History Museum, there is evidence that the fossil-hunting mania of the notorious Bone Wars in America may have reached British shores. Events take a sinister turn though when a museum attendant is found dead by the famous theatre manager Bram Stoker, who may be more involved than he is willing to admit. Facing mounting pressure Wilson and Fenton must rely on their talents and instincts to solve their most intriguing case yet. 'A captivating new series' Marni Graff

Book excerpt: The first walking guide to London’s role in the evolution of horror cinema, inspired by the city’s dark histories and labyrinthine architectures. Death Lines is the first walking guide to London’s role in the evolution of horror cinema, inspired by the city’s dark histories, labyrinthine architectures, atmospheric streetscapes, and uncanny denizens. Its eight walks lead you on a series of richly researched yet undeniably chilling tours through Chelsea, Notting Hill, Westminster, Bloomsbury, Covent Garden, and the East End, along the haunted banks of the river Thames, and down into the depths of the London Underground railway. Each tour weaves together London’s stories and takes the reader to magnificent, eerie, and sometimes disconcertingly ordinary corners of the city, unearthing the literature, legends, and history behind classics like Peeping Tom and An American Werewolf in London, and lesser-known works such as mind-control melodrama The Sorcerers; Gorgo, Britain’s answer to Godzilla; tube terror Death Line; and Bela Lugosi's mesmeric vehicle The Dark Eyes of London. Tinged with humor, social critique, and more than a few scares, Death Lines delights in revealing the hidden and often surprising relationship between the city and the dark cinematic visions it has evoked. Whether read on the streets or from the comfort of the grave, Death Lines is a treat for all cinephiles, horror fans, and lovers of London lore.
