Pařížské bestie – Morris Susan J. (2026)

A monster is murdering powerful men in Paris, and perhaps only a woman can stop it. When the Paris gendarmes ask the Society for the Investigation of Abnormal Phenomena for help, they do not expect Samantha Harker to join the investigation. The young researcher has so far stayed among library shelves, and the worst injury she has ever suffered was a paper cut. Sam is also the daughter of the man who destroyed Dracula, however, and she can look into the minds of monsters. This ability might help her solve the Paris case—or land her in an asylum. Doctor Helena Moriarty, one of the Society’s finest agents, initially wants nothing to do with Sam’s help. She is struggling with the ill-fated influence of her father’s name and deeds: Professor Moriarty hides from both the world and justice, but occasionally makes his presence known, after which Helena’s partners die under mysterious circumstances. The investigation eventually takes Hel and Sam among Parisian high society and into ancient, dark catacombs. They battle monsters, magic and people, while their initially tense relationship slowly changes. But can Sam truly trust her partner? Is mutual trust the key to solving the mystery, or is Sam merely another piece on Professor Moriarty’s chessboard? The contents are in Czech.
