Beast of Robbers Wood (DCI Arthur Ravyn British Murder Mysteries, #3)

by Ralph E. Vaughan

Overview

Some in Midriven Village claim schoolgirl Lisa Martin ran off with a boy, but most know she strayed too close to Robbers Wood, perhaps even went in, the silly thing, and got took by the Beast. But the world has no room for monsters, except human ones, so DCI Arthur Ravyn and DS Leo Stark come to investigate. A fool's quest, the old folk know. The Elder Gods never give back what they take. The detectives themselves might perish. After all, this is Hammershire County, where change comes slowly, if at all, where the past frequently intrudes upon the present, and where old things often refuse to die. Very old things.

About the Author

Ralph E. Vaughan is well known for his Sherlock Holmes and HP Lovecraft fiction, and was the first author to combine the literary worlds of Holmes and Lovecraft. That seminal story was The Adventure of the Ancient Gods, and has been translated into multiple languages. His pastiches have been collected in Sherlock Holmes: The Coils of Time & Other Stories and Sherlock Holmes: Cthulhu Mythos Adventures. His DCI Arthur Ravyn Mysteries, set in legend-haunted Hammershire County (England), have proved very popular with readers, as have his Folkestone & Hand Interplanetary Steampunk Adventures. His avid interest in ancient history led him to write Enigmas of Elder Egypt, a collection of essays examining the lesser known aspects of Egypt. On a lighter note, he is the creator of the Paws & Claws Mystery Adventures, stories of canine detectives who solve mysteries, protect the weak, and occasionally save the world. He is the author of some 300 published short stories, covering the period 1970-2010, about a tenth of which have been collected in Beneath Strange Stars.
