Book Description:
Barnabas Tew is a private
detective struggling to make a go of it in Victorian London.
Fearing that he is not as clever
as he had hoped to be, he is riddled with anxiety and plagued by a lack of confidence
brought on in no small part by his failure to prevent the untimely deaths of
several of his clients. Matters only get worse when Anubis, the Egyptian god of
the dead, is referred to Barnabas by a former client (who perished in a
terribly unfortunate incident which was almost certainly not Barnabas’ fault).
Anubis sends for Barnabas (in a most uncivilized manner) and tells him that the
scarab beetle in charge of rolling the sun across the sky every day has been
kidnapped, and perhaps dismembered entirely.
The land of the dead is in chaos,
which will soon spill over into the land of the living if Barnabas (together
with his trusty assistant, Wilfred) cannot set matters to right.
Pulled from his safe and
predictable (if unremarkable) life in Marylebone, Barnabas must match his wits
against the capricious and dangerous Egyptian gods in order to unravel the
mystery of the missing beetle and thereby save the world.
About
the Author:
Columbkill Noonan has an M.S. in
Biology (she has, in turn, been a field biologist, an environmental compliance
inspector, and a lecturer of Anatomy and Physiology).
When she's not teaching or
writing, she can usually be found riding her rescue horse, Mittens, practicing
yoga (on the ground, in an aerial silk, on a SUP board, and sometimes even on
Mittens), or spending far too much time at the local organic, vegan market.
