    Step into the world of one of the most influential paranormal investigators of the early 20th century with "CARNACKI: The Complete Collection". This definitive anthology brings together all of William Hope Hodgson’s celebrated stories featuring the brilliant, if eccentric, investigator, Thomas Carnacki.

    Throughout these nine tales, Carnacki is called upon to confront strange forces that defy logic and reason. Armed with his trusty scientific tools, a deep understanding of the occult, and a fearless heart, he investigates everything from spectral hauntings and ghostly apparitions to malevolent spirits and unearthly forces lurking in the shadows. 
    The first six stories were collected in the 1913 anthology, “Carnacki, the Ghost-Finder”, with the latter three appearing in an expanded collection of the same name published in 1947.

    The majestic Inishowen Peninsula shore—home to dangerous and unpredictable currents 
     
     
     
    A woman's body washes up on a remote beach on the Inishowen Peninsula. Partially clothed, with a strange tattoo on her thigh, she is identified as Marguerite Etienne, a French woman who has been living in the area. Solicitor Ben (Benedicta) O'Keeffe is consumed by guilt: for the second time in her life Ben has failed someone who needed her, with tragic consequences. 
     
     
     
    When local sergeant Tom Molloy dismisses Marguerite's death as the suicide of a disturbed and lonely woman, Ben cannot let it lie. Ben uncovers Marguerite's strange past as a member of a French doomsday cult, which she escaped twenty years previously, but not without leaving her baby daughter behind. Disturbed by what appears to be chilling local indifference to Marguerite's death, Ben pieces together the last few weeks of the French woman's life in Inishowen. 
     
     
     
    What she discovers causes her to question the fragile nature of her own position in the area, and she finds herself crossing boundaries—both personal and professional—to unearth local secrets long buried.

    AD 191. An ancient grove, broken promises, a lost keepsake. Rich Lucretia is on the way to the town of Durnovaria. The last time she saw it she’d just rejected an arranged teenage marriage, but now she's back to claim an inheritance, taking the local wise-woman Tryssa as a companion. Unknown to anyone, two hapless grave-robbers have been seeking ancient treasures in a stone circle nearby, without any idea that what they've found will open up old wounds from a more recent past. With Lucretia’s family busy arguing about money, any possibility that an old ring bought in the forum might be important is pushed aside until Lucretia’s cousin is poisoned and the local magistrate Amicus starts to raise questions. As the past starts to catch up with the present, Tryssa must help Amicus discover who would kill rather than reveal long-buried truths... and what those truths actually are.

    Suspecting Freddie is being framed, Donovan tries to rustle up some cash to bail him out, but only succeeds in getting into trouble with the local mob. 
     
     
     
    He'll have to solve the case on his own. Unfortunately, the only clue he has suggests the answers lie in the jungle-covered mountains of Papua New Guinea, and the shark-filled waters of the Coral Sea. 
     
     
     
    As he comes face to face with smugglers, hostile tribesmen, insurgents, and a web of corruption and deception, can Donovan achieve what is seemingly impossible in this high-octane, action-filled adventure full of nail-biting suspense?
