A haunting in Kensington. A beast in the Dales. A conspiracy that threatens the Crown. All in a day’s work for two outcast Special Branch detectives.
London, 1900. The unlikely duo of Detective Inspector Frank Tarrant and Detective Sergeant Sidney Wainwright are the laughing stock of Scotland Yard. Ridiculed by colleagues as the ‘flying chair brigade,’ they appear to spend their days interviewing crackpots and chasing shadows. But their mission is deadly serious: to investigate paranormal threats that defy rational explanation.
While Tarrant keeps his partner bound to desk duties, Wainwright feels his career of true policing slipping away—until two cases collide. With Tarrant in mortal peril and the young detective left to his own devices, Wainwright must overcome his self-doubt to face a threat far darker than anything he imagined.
