Description

"Have you ever seen a ghost, Mr. Holmes?" asks Victoria Temple, and Sherlock Holmes is plunged into the realm of the supernatural. Miss Temple has been locked away in the Broadmoor lunatic asylum for murdering a child under her care. But were the hauntings at the Bly manor house a genuine vision of the walking dead, perhaps, rather than delusions of her tormented mind? Or could it be that a criminal conspiracy is to blame for the psychic phenomena? Holmes and Watson revisit the evil portrayed in Henry James's The Turn of the Screw, along with two other baffling cases involving fraud at the Royal Navy Academy and a fatal production of Hamlet. A playwright, biographer, and poet, previously shortlisted for the Whitbread Award and given poetry's Gregory Award by T.S. Eliot himself, Donald Thomas here continues the adventures of Arthur Conan Doyle's great detective. "With respect for the canon, deep knowledge of Victorian and Edwardian England, and the writing chops to replicate the Watsonian style, Thomas is the all-time best at Sherlockian pastiche."—Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine
