Carter & Lovecraft

The start of a thrilling supernatural series that brings the H.P. Lovecraft mythos into the twenty-first century, optioned by Warner Bros TV.

Daniel Carter’s last case as an NYPD detective ought to have been a triumph. But then the arrest turned into a “suicide by cop” and Carter’s partner turned his gun on himself, and the case that should have made Carter’s career ended it instead. Resigning from the force, Carter becomes a private investigator.

Then one day a lawyer calls on Carter to tell him he is the sole beneficiary of the will of a man he’s never heard of before. Carter’s inherited a successful business, an antiquarian bookstore in Providence. He also seems to have inherited an employee, one Emily Lovecraft, last living descendant of the author H.P. Lovecraft, and someone none too pleased to learn her new boss is some gumshoe from New York.

Then Carter receives an even stranger call. This time, it’s a request for help from a professor of mathematics. What makes the call strange is that it was made after the professor already had died.
