A Victorian house party, several murders, and two very special investigators.
Immortal detectives Elliott Caine and Abernathy Thorne have spent centuries searching through time for the reincarnations of their murdered wives. When they are called upon to investigate a brutal double murder committed at a secret government meeting, they uncover far more than the usual web of murder and mystery.
A sadistic serial killer with a penchant for photographing their victims has arrived in England, intent on hunting down a survivor of their tender ministrations. A devoted Nephew, determined to discover the answers that could solve his beloved aunt's death, arrives in the midst of the investigation and accidentally unleashes a chain of events that lead to a terrifying discovery. And all the while, an ancient evil is stalking ever closer, intent on finding that which they seek.
Where does the mysterious agent Versipellis fit into the case? Who is the shadowy figure watching Caine and Thorne with such interest? And will Thorne stop eating seedcake long enough to investigate?
Find out all this and more, in this very Victorian fantasy that drips with elements of Gothic mystery, historical urban fantasy, champagne, and rather a lot of blood.
Praise for A Portrait of Death
"Dark and intense. Garland quite deftly inserts a faceless murderer who comes and goes, seemingly at will. And with imagery alone creates a feeling of unease and imagined horror that permeates the entire story."
"As soon as you start reading, it gets you hooked, and you just can't put it down."
"Wonderful twists and turns in the story line kept me wanting to read what happened next."
"A great debut novel from an author with an amazing imagination." - Katylou 1966
