Empire of the Dead
A Sherlock Holmes: Zombie Slayer Mystery
Book Nine in the Bestselling Series

New York City, 1900.
The Gilded Age is cracking at the edges. Beneath the marble facades and gaslit boulevards, something unspeakable stirs.

Holmes and Watson arrive in Manhattan expecting a quiet beginning to their American lecture tour. Instead, they’re swept into a chilling mystery when the daughter of a powerful railroad tycoon vanishes from her Fifth Avenue mansion—without a trace. The case deepens when a mutilated corpse is discovered in Central Park… a policeman, half-devoured, with his jaw shattered and his body clawed open from within. Witnesses say he rose again.

As Holmes investigates, he uncovers whispers of forbidden science, missing soldiers, and a subterranean plague tied to the dark remnants of the Spanish-American War. At the heart of the horror lies Grand Central Station—still under construction—where a secret far older than the city itself waits to be unearthed.

From opium dens in Chinatown to the smoke-filled halls of Tammany Hall, Holmes and Watson must navigate a city on the brink of an undead uprising. But the greatest threat may not be the creatures lurking in the shadows—it may be the very men sworn to protect civilization.

Featuring a brilliant young woman with secrets of her own, and a web of conspiracy that spans oceans, Empire of the Dead is a terrifying new chapter in the Sherlock Holmes: Zombie Slayer saga. Atmospheric, brutal, and relentless—it’s Holmes as you’ve never seen him before.

Perfect for fans of supernatural mysteries, gothic horror, and steampunk adventure.
Each book in the series can be read as a standalone.
