A Steampunk Short Story set in the world of Iron & Blood: A Jake Desmet Adventure.
Department of Supernatural Investigation agents Mitch Storm and Jacob Drangosavich are called in to investigate missing corpses, clockwork zombies and a charlatan doctor with ties to Jack the Ripper before all hell breaks loose.
New Pittsburgh, 1898 – a crucible of invention and intrigue. Born from the ashes of devastating fire, flood and earthquake, the city is ruled by the shadow government of The Oligarchy. In the swarming streets, people of a hundred nations drudge to feed the engines of progress. The Department of Supernatural Investigation was set up to take care of those things that live below, that go bump in the night... those odd cases that go beyond 'standard' investigation. Nicknamed ‘Storm and Fury’, Mitch Storm and Jacob Drangosavich are two of the more creative agents, working in New Pittsburgh and obeying the rules - when they have to.

I’ll leave the door open.” I hung up on her protests and slid the phone into my pocket as I walked to my car. I tossed my exorcism bag into the trunk of my old burgundy Accord and shrugged out of my leather duster. It was a little ostentatious, but it looked the part of a wizard a lot more than I did, and it kept me from getting completely covered in puke on gigs like this. I
you mean, posed?” I felt a chill run down my spine at her choice of words. I really didn’t want to hear the next few words out of Flynn’s mouth, but I had to. “All three bodies were left out in the open, where they would be found quickly. And each body was fully dressed, eyes held closed with silver dollars, and their hands folded across their chests.” “Holding a single red rose?” I asked. My voice was very quiet, but Flynn’s head snapped around to stare at me anyway. “How did you know
Mitch pressed. Adam chewed on his lip as he tilted his head from one side to the other to examine the bits of metal Jacob and Mitch had retrieved from the cemetery bombing. “Maybe someone could build one. I mean, theoretically,” Adam replied. “Could you?” Adam’s gaze slid up to meet Mitch’s eyes, and Jacob saw a glint of irritation. “If you are trying to ask ‘did I’, the answer is no,” Adam replied tersely. “Could I?” He gave an off-hand shrug. “I don’t know because I wouldn’t try. We’ve been
