They’re back! The Victorian crime fighters, Inspector Meadowbank and Sergeant Huggins have barely had time to catch their breath after their encounter with Vena Demdike, The Last of the Lancashire Witches, when an even greater supernatural horror stalks the cobbled streets of Preston.
The steam coaster Demeter had sailed from the Black Sea and weeks later, shrouded in fog arrived at Preston docks, the crew dead.
There was a stowaway who escaped the vessel, intending to bring a horror worse than death itself to the shores of this palatine county.
Inspector Meadowbank and Sergeant Huggins begin the investigation of the Demeter and are drawn into a world beyond their understanding.
The two detectives are introduced to Professor Van Helsing and struggle to believe who he claims is responsible for the deaths on board the Demeter.
So the hunt is on and Meadowbank and Huggins will need all their courage and determination and more to face a monster that is now creating a colony of his kind in a northern mill town.
