Jackaby (Jackaby, #1) - 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 worlds 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 Jackabys 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 its an ordinary villain, but Jackaby is certain its 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 Ritters 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.
