Algonquin Books, 2014. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 299. "Miss Rook, I am not an occultist," Jackaby said. "I have a gift that allows me to see truth where others see the illusion-and there are many illusions. All the world`s a stage, as they say, and I seem to have the only seat in the house with a view behind the curtain." Newly arrived in New Fiddleham, New England, 1892, and in need of a job, Abigail Rook meets R. F. Jackaby, an investigator of the unexplained with a keen eye for the extraordinary-including the ability to see supernatural beings. Abigail has a gift for noticing ordinary but important details, which makes her perfect for the position of Jackaby`s assistant. On her first day, Abigail finds herself in the midst of a thrilling case: A serial killer is on the loose. The police are convinced it`s an ordinary villain, but Jackaby is certain it`s a nonhuman creature, whose existence the police-with the exception of a handsome young detective named Charlie Cane-deny. Doctor Who meets Sherlock in William Ritter`s debut novel, which features a detective of the paranormal as seen through the eyes of his adventurous and intelligent assistant in a tale brimming with cheeky humor and a dose of the macabre.
