Book Description

All Nicodemus Clarke wants to do is head west, get away from civilization, and build a home well away from people where he could live out the rest of his days in relative anonymity and quiet. After stints as a sniper in the Union Army and an expedition leader in the French Expeditionary Forces, he's earned some downtime. However, Lord Bobbins, the eccentric British adventurer and industrialist, has one last job for him: investigating sightings of werewolves in a tiny Romanian town in the Carpathian Mountains where Bobbins has just come into the ownership of an old castle. Clarke doesn't believe in werewolves, but Bobbins won't take no for an answer. In the little Romanian hamlet, Clarke discovers a mystery that needs solving and a town that needs saving. Clarke might not be the right man for the job, but that's never stopped him before. Joined by Bobbins' bodyguard, the mysterious Dolly Shaw, and the dour inventor Nikola Tesla, Clarke does something he never thought he'd do: Take on the supernatural.
