A Bangingly Good read!

Within this anthology is “Sir Arthur and the Time Machine” the remarkable short story that won the Arthur Conan Doyle Society’s Award for Best Fiction. “In The Land Of The Living” was published in Mystery Magazine.

Ms Altabef’s books brim with imagination and a news reporter’s excitement for the history of the 19th-Century. She writes about heroes and heroines and the art of true justice.

Though murder mysteries, her historic detective novels are full of hope and the bonhomie of friendship. And her Sherlock is like no other.
