The first two books in the acclaimed Stoker and Holmes series.
Evaline Stoker and Mina Holmes never meant to get into the family business...But when you're the sister of Bram and the niece of Sherlock, vampire hunting and mystery solving are in your blood.
The Clockwork Scarab
When two society girls go missing, there's no one more qualified than Stoker and Holmes to investigate. When none other than Irene Adler taps the two girls to help solve the crime, Mina and Evaline jump at the chance to investigate.
Now, fierce Evaline and logical Mina must resolve their rivalry, navigate the advances of not just one but three mysterious gentlemen, and solve a murder with only one clue: the strange Egyptian scarab. The stakes are high.
If Stoker and Holmes don't unravel why the belles of London society are in such danger, they'll become the next victims...
The Spiritglass Charade
After the Affair of the Clockwork Scarab, Evaline Stoker and Mina Holmes are eager to help Princess Alix with a new case. Seventeen-year-old Willa Aston is obsessed with spiritual mediums, convinced she is speaking with her mother from beyond the grave.
What seems like a case of spiritualist fraud quickly devolves into something far more menacing: someone is trying to make Willa appear lunatic using an innocent-looking spiritglass to control her. The list of clues piles up: an unexpected murder, a gang of pickpockets, and the return of vampires to London. But are these events connected?
As Uncle Sherlock would say, there are no coincidences. It will take all of Mina's wit and Evaline's muscle to keep London's sinister underground at bay...
