Metatemporal Detectives is a series by Mark Hodder launched in 2025 with The Albino’s Secret. The concept brings together detectives operating across different time periods and alternate histories, a premise that fits naturally with Hodder’s longstanding interests in Victorian settings, pulp fiction, and the mechanics of time and alternate reality established in his Burton and Swinburne novels.
Hodder has written extensively in the steampunk and alternate-history genres, and Metatemporal Detectives appears to draw on that accumulated world-building. The Albino’s Secret is the first entry and establishes the series’ premise and tone.
The series has one volume at the time of writing. It is listed in the reading order table below.
