If Stoker and Holmes don't unravel why the belles of London society are in such danger, they'll become the next victims. Now fierce Evaline and logical Mina must resolve their rivalry, navigate the advances of not just one but three mysterious gentlemen, and solve murder with only one clue: a strange Egyptian scarab.
