Fatally Inferior, the second book in The Dunston Burnett Trilogy, will be released by Level Best Books on December 10, 2024.

 

Fatally Inferior is a tale of retribution set amidst the uproar sparked in England by Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.  Dunston Burnett, the series’ non-conventional amateur detective, exposes the trickery behind the mysterious disappearance of a woman from a locked-tight country house but that discovery may not be enough to prevent a gruesome act of vengeance. 

 

In Immortalisd to Death, the trilogy’s first story, Dunston has to solve The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Charles Dickens’s unfinished story of murder, if he is to unravel a broader mystery ensnaring the legendary author.

 

In the final story, The Séance of Murder, an oddly-motivated séance held in a Cambridge country house foreshadows a stabbing.
