Barnabas Tew and the Case of the Missing Scarab
Barnabas Tew is a private detective struggling to survive in his trade in Victorian London. Fearing that he is not as clever as he had hoped to be, he is plagued by a lack of confidence brought on in no small part by his failure to prevent the untimely deaths of several of his clients. Matters only get worse when Anubis, the Egyptian God of the Dead, is referred to Barnabas by a former client (who perished in a terribly unfortunate incident which was almost certainly not Barnabas' fault). Anubis sends for Barnabas (in a most uncivilized manner) and tells him that the scarab beetle in charge of rolling the sun across the sky every day has been kidnapped, and perhaps dismembered entirely. The Land of the Dead is in chaos, which will soon spill over into the Land of the Living if Barnabas - together with his trusty assistant, Wilfred - cannot set matters to right. Pulled from his predictable (if unremarkable) life in Marylebone, Barnabas must match his wits against the capricious and dangerous Egyptian gods in order to unravel the mystery of the missing beetle and thereby save the world.
Barnabas Tew and the Case of the Hellenic Abduction
Demanding Greek gods. A world of intrigue. A mysterious helper. Zeus is used to getting what he wants...but that was before he met Barnabas Tew! Barnabas and Wilfred, the unluckiest detectives ever, are enjoying their time in India, working on mastering their emotions and learning how to do all sorts of interesting yoga poses. They feel as if they've finally found some peace in their lives. Everything changes, though, when Zeus whisks them away from their idyllic retreat and demands that they solve a case for him. Having no choice, they reluctantly accept the job, but quickly come to realize that nothing is as it should be. Zeus' motives are suspect from the beginning, the rest of the Greek gods and goddesses are untrustworthy at best, and Barnabas soon finds his temper hasn't improved at all during his time in India. Who is the mysterious lady who keeps popping up just when they need her? Is she friend, or is she foe? Will Barnabas and Wilfred figure out what's right and what's wrong in this topsy-turvy world of lies, intrigue, and trickery? Or will the Greek gods and goddesses prove too much for them?

Will they save the world...again?
