The Equivoque Principle
Blurb:
When a series of gruesome murders coincides with
the arrival in London of Dr Marvello's Travelling Circus, the performers find
themselves caught up in some rather sinister goings on, and Prometheus the
strongman winds up behind bars. It falls to ringmaster and master conjuror
Cornelius Quaint, ably assisted by his Eskimo valet, Butter, to investigate the
killings and to clear his name.
But Quaint, an irresistible mix of Sherlock
Holmes and Harry Houdini, soon finds that these seemingly random killings are actually
linked to dark secrets from his own past…secrets that he may not be prepared to
face.
The
Equivoque Principle is a fantastic Victorian adventure in the style of the
penny dreadfuls and newspaper serials of the times.

The Eleventh Plague
Blurb:
Picking up where The
Equivoque Principle left off, The Eleventh Plague sees Cornelius Quaint embark
on his most perilous adventure yet.
Bidding an emotional
farewell to Dr Marvello’s Travelling Circus, Quaint leaves for Egypt with only
fortune-teller Madame Destine by his side. Once in the land of the pyramids
they must do battle with desert thieves, unearth long-buried secrets and
attempt to foil the villainous Hades Consortium's plans to poison the River
Nile.
With a whole new cast
of characters this is a ripping Victorian adventure story featuring Cornelius
Quaint - part Sherlock Holmes, part Indiana Jones, part Harry Houdini.
The Times called The
Equivoque Principle a 'boisterous comedy' with 'hairpin plot twists' and The
Eleventh Plague follows in the grand tradition of Victorian serials.
