In Belle Epoque Paris, a monster is murdering powerful men. Stopping it may be a womans job.

When the Gendarmes ask the Royal Society for the Study of Abnormal Phenomena for help, they dont expect them to send Samantha Harker.

Shes a researcher, more used to papercuts than knife fights. Sam is also the daughter of Draculas killer and can see into the minds of monsters. Its a perilous power, one that could help her crack this case, or have her thrown into an asylum.

Dr Helena Moriarty is Sams reluctant partner, the Societys finest agent who has forged a formidable path in her notorious fathers shadow. Professor Moriarty is in hiding, but he still makes his presence known: Hels partners have a way of dying in mysterious circumstances.

From Paris glittering opera house to its darkest catacombs, the investigation pits Sam and Hel against magic, monsters, and men. And beneath their tenuous partnership, something else is growing . . .

But is trusting Hel the key to solving the murders? Or is Sam just another pawn in a Moriarty game?

With characters drawn from the worlds of Dracula and Sherlock Holmes, Strange Beasts is a twisty puzzle box of a historical fantasy perfect for fans of Genevieve Cogman, Theodora Goss, Freya Marske, T. Kingfisher, and Gail Carriger.
