The Black Pentagram series consists of three mystery novels by Mark Hodder, all published in 2018 as ebooks: The Mystery of the Empty Bay, The Disaster at Dale Dyke, and The Great Plague of Paris. The series is set in the Victorian era and follows detective fiction conventions, with cases that involve historical settings and events.

The three books each present a distinct mystery in a different location, with The Mystery of the Empty Bay set on the English coast, The Disaster at Dale Dyke referencing the real 1864 Sheffield flood disaster, and The Great Plague of Paris drawing on historical French settings. This spread of locations gives the series geographical variety across its short run.

As a separate project from Hodder’s main Burton and Swinburne series, the Black Pentagram books show a more focused, shorter format. They are available primarily as ebooks and appeal to readers who enjoy historical mysteries with an English Victorian flavor.
