Anna Lord

The Styrian Curse (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Styria, May 1900. Watson and the Countess travel through the Semmering Pass to Waldenwulf Castle to attend a Christening. Among the godparents are several characters from the canon of Conan Doyle, including the odious Baron Gruner who is helping to train the Olympic archery team prior to the Summer Olympics.
When bodies turn up horrifically mauled, an outbreak of rabies is suspected among the wolf population - but the superstitious locals have a different explanation, and their own way of dealing with things. It soon becomes clear that they hold the unchristened child with the beastly birthmark responsible for the return of the mythical Styrian werewolf.

Unconvinced by the mythical explanation, our two sleuths soon find themselves pitting their wits against an adversary who has developed a taste for blood-sport. But how do they trap a creature that doesn't exist? How do you kill a myth?

Autorenporträt

Anna Lord has long been fascinated by myth and metaphor, and the way they inform human thought. With an English and Philosophy degree focused on metaphysical poets and logical thinking there was only one creative avenue for her to follow: two rational detectives battling to make sense of a superstitious gas-lit world.

Anna's Ukrainian background, coupled with a love for whodunnits, Victorian settings, and Gothic characters, inspires her literary world and makes the books a joy to write.

The result is her new series: Watson and the Countess.
