[The Glennison Darkisle Cases 01] • The Gathering of Shadows (The Glennison Darkisle Cases Book 1)

Jack Glennison: a failed scholar, a frustrated policeman, a discharged soldier… and now a private detective about to get out of his depth.

When a glamorous blonde arrives at Glennison's less-than-glamorous Manchester office, her missing person case has "straying husband" written all over it. But Jack's investigation soon takes an unexpected turn and he finds himself on a steamer bound for half-forgotten Darkisle in the Irish Sea. Here he finds himself confronting both dark forces and his own forgotten past.

A gritty 1920s detective story that spirals into the realms of Lovecraftian Horror, The Gathering of Shadows will delight fans of the genre as they travel with Glennison from the stolid certainty of 1920s England to a world of lost temples, ancient gods, whispered chants and terrifying visitations.
