About this book

Victorian crime-fighting duo Billy Flint and Charley Steel - top secret investigators for S.C.R.E.A.M. (Supernatural Crimes, Rescues, Emergencies And Mysteries) - head to Edinburgh in the first book in this thrilling series.

A strange burglar is wreaking havoc in the city, but this is no ordinary criminal. This robber is rotting, revenge-driven and really old. Over to the brilliantly clever Charley (a wheelchair user) and her loyal friend Billy. Can they find out who has unleashed the monster on the city and stop him, before it’s too late?

This terrifically exciting book has it all – mystery, creepy paranormal baddies and lashings of sharp humour. You’ll be right there with Charley and Billy as they outwit the grown-ups and use their wits in their battle to beat the baddies.

About the author

Andrew Beasley was born in Hertfordshire, and has spent most of his life with his nose buried in a book. As a student, he read law in Bristol, but was disappointed to discover that life as a lawyer wasn’t as exciting as books had led him to believe. He then spent a number of years travelling extensively across Europe for work, although he didn’t see much of it because he was usually reading a book. Andrew is now a primary school teacher, where he shares his passion for storytelling with his class. Andrew lives in Cornwall with his wife and their two children, Ben and Lucy.
