History meets mystery in this fantastic new series! Debut author Jordan Stratford imagines an alternate 1826, where Ada Lovelace (the world´s first computer programmer) and Mary Shelley (author of Frankenstein ) meet as girls and form a secret detective agency!
When Mary Godwin and Lady Ada Byron first meet, they don´t exactly hit it off. But with crime on the rise, the unlikely pair form a detective agency to hunt down clever criminals on the streets of London.

Their first case involves a stolen necklace, a false confession, and lots of suspicious suspects - but these are no match for Ada and Mary.

Filled with daring balloon chases, vile villains and two unforgettable heroines, The
Case of the Missing Moonstone is the first in a thrilling new series; perfect for all aspiring sleuths.
"An enjoyable plot borrowed from Wilkie Collins - not to mention resourceful heroines and fun writing" The Wall Street Journal 20150102
Jordan Stratford is a producer, author, and screenwriter. He lives on Salt Spring Island in British Columbia, Canada, with his wife and children.
