Introduction: The Vanishing Beast

An Introduction to our first case.

Welcome to the Case Files of Sheridan Bell, a collection of fantasy detective stories delivered directly to your inbox! Keep reading to learn more about the series and our first mystery.

Introducing Tamarley:

Tamarley is a city of secrets, of tremulous magic and unanswered questions. Tamarley is not just one city, but two: your city, and the other. Your city is familiar. It’s innovation and propriety, industrialization and smog. The other city…well, the other city is sidhe. It bleeds through the cracks of your city and will pull you in if you lose your way. It’s the sharp tang of magic, the verdance of new growth, the looming shadow of something old and knowing.

Detective Henry Sheridan Bell is keeper of one of Tamarley’s greatest secrets: if you know the way, you can weave between the cities as will.

More About the First Case:

A strange woman comes to Detective Bell with an even stranger problem: she’s about to be arrested for murder and needs Detective Bell to clear her name.

When the police confuse a simple protection charm for something more sinister and arrest the wrong person, Bell must untangle cons, confront powerful sidhe families, and find the mysterious beast that roams the streets of his city.
