A deftly crafted, scintillating mash-up of Victorian mystery and horror - Sherlock Holmes and Mr Hyde encounter villains with unfathomable, terrifying abilities... 1903. A darkness has descended on London. A series of grisly murders are uncovered, trophies taken, bodies arranged and soon there are whispers of Jack the Ripper's return. A new client arrives at Baker Street seeking Sherlock Holmes's help: Dr Jekyll claims his friend has been wrongfully accused of the hideous crimes, a friend called Mr Edward Hyde, whose very existence relies on a potion administered by the doctor himself. But the case becomes more complicated, more unsettling than simply proving Mr Hyde's innocence - for Holmes and Watson unearth beastly transformations, a killer who moves unseen, a secret organisation and then find a traitor in their midst...

Praise for Sherlock Holmes and Count Dracula: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Bram Stoker were friends and admired each other's work. I'm happy to think that both of them would have greatly enjoyed Christian Klaver's exuberant, reverent mashup of their two best-known characters. - James Lovegrove, author of The Cthulhu Casebooks A great start to a new series. Klaver knows his Holmes - and his Dracula - and tells a compelling tale that will delight all fans of Holmes and things horrific. - Eric Brown, author of The Martian Menace A scintillating mash-up of the two big names in Victorian mystery and horror... Put your feet up, light your pipe, pour yourself a nice cup of warm blood, and enjoy. - Philip Purser-Hallard, author of Sherlock Holmes: The Vanishing Man I honestly couldn't put it down... You'll hold your breath, I promise. It's quite simply the most believable Holmes/fantasy crossover I've ever read - Age of Steam What's most remarkable about this story is the degree of authenticity Klaver gives it-it reads just like a story by Doyle... exciting and refreshingly unpredictable - Heath Lowrance
