Should you find yourself in need of a discreet investigation into any sort of mystery, call on Jesperson and Lane . . . 'Arthur Conan Doyle would have approved,' says George R.R. Martin

Miss Lane is puzzled by Jasper Jesperson's interest in what seems a very minor theft -possibly even a prank - from the storerooms at the British Museum. But London in the 1890s is rife with secret organisations, cults and individuals eager to acquire some of the legendary magic of ancient Egypt. The deeper the two detectives dig, the more hidden crimes they uncover, and the higher the death toll mounts. And at the centre of it all is the 'Mystery Mummy' recently acquired by the museum.


'Tuttle does a lovely job of putting us back in the foggy streets of Victorian London' George R.R. Martin, author of The Game of Thrones

Are the deaths and madness truly caused by a mummy's curse? Or is there a scheming, living villain to be apprehended?

'A most engaging detective duo' Mark Douglas Home, author of The Sea Detective and The Woman Who Walked Into The Sea

Jesperson and Lane, with their experience of past investigations involving psychic phenomena and supernatural events as well as ordinary human criminality, are surely best placed to find the truth.

Jesperson and Lane, at your service.

MEDIA REVIEWS

Lisa Tuttle has quietly been writing remarkable, chilling short stories and powerful, haunting novels for many years now, and doing it so easily and so well that one almost takes it, and her, for granted. This would be as big a mistake as not reading Lisa Tuttle - NEIL GAIMAN

This John W. Campbell Award-winning author remains one of fantasy's best - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Whether fantasy or science fiction, Tuttle's stories generally centre on derangements within family units. Her touch is deft, chilly, exact - JOHN CLUTE, co-author of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction

'One of the SF and fantasy & horror field's most urbane - and much under-appreciated - writers - MAXIM JAKUBOWSKI, LOVE READING

Sleepwalkers, psychics, and the spirits of the dead (or are they?) make for a heady stew in Lisa Tuttle's The Somnambulist and the Psychic Thief, the first full-length novel about Jasper Jesperson and Miss Lane, a dauntless duo of Victorian detectives first introduced in her stories for Down These Strange Streets and Rogues. They're an entertaining pair, and it's great to see them back in action in a longer work. Here's hoping this is only the first in a long series of Lane and Jesperson adventures. Tuttle does a lovely job of putting us back in the foggy streets of Victorian London in this lively, entertaining blend of murder mystery and supernatural adventure. Arthur Conan Doyle would have approved - GEORGE R.R. MARTIN on The Somnambulist and the Psychic Thief

A cleverly constructed, swiftly moving and absorbing plot - ParSec Magazine

Great fun - Concatenation

A delightful Victorian detective thriller with more than an air of magic and mysticism - SciFi Now

A well-designed crime story with an interesting premise and enough potential suspects to keep the reader guessing - SFBook Reviews

“Fun to meet Jesperson and Lane again”

I think The Missing Mummies appeared in hardback last summer, and I missed it then, but that has simply made the timing better for a story focussing on thefts from the British Museum. And one might argue, on somewhat... More
