MELODRAMA AND DERRING-DO' Herald Halloween 1881, Edinburgh, and the
dead are restless. In respectable Edinburgh society, beautiful
young American spiritualist, Sophia Adler, is causing a furore with
her dramatic seances. But the ghosts of the past seem hell-bent on
retribution. Inspector James McLevy finds his investigations
distracted by more earthly concerns when Muriel Grierson, an
outwardly genteel widow is robbed at home. Her knight in shining
armour - one Arthur Conan Doyle, recently graduated from medical
school - is keen to learn from such a master of detection as the
renowned inspector, but McLevy is less sure that he requires a new
acolyte. A vicious murder occurs with evidence of supernatural
strength and violence. Treachery revenged from a battle long ago.
All roads lead to Sophia Adler and the inspector becomes involved
with one of the most dangerous women he has ever encountered. THE
