Superstition and murder haunt nineteenth-century Scotland in a
twisting mystery by the prize-winning author of Edinburgh Twilight
and Edinburgh Dusk. Spiritualism has captured the public’s
imagination. Séances are all the rage, and Detective Ian
Hamilton’s otherwise sensible aunt Lillian is not immune to their
allure. But for Ian, indulging her superstitions has its limits.
When members of Lillian’s circle of séance friends begin turning
up dead, Ian doesn’t need a medium to tell him these aren’t
freak accidents. With the help of his friend Arthur Conan Doyle,
Ian investigates, and he is soon drawn into a dark world of
believers and tricksters, and a puzzling series of murders with no
pattern, no motive, and no end in sight. Most alarming, the crimes
conjure up the ghosts of Ian’s own past, including the mysterious
deaths of his parents, which have haunted him for years. As two
cases converge, science collides with the uncanny, and Ian must
confront truths that are more disturbing than he could ever have
imagined.
