The University of St John and the Holy Ghost (known affectionately
as Spook) has a problem - and an opportunity. Strange, eccentric
art patron and collector Francis Cornish has died and faculty
members have been made executors of his complicated will. But in
the realization of their duties, they find themselves drawn into
Cornish's bizarre, secretive and mystical world. In this
spellbinding trilogy a host of memorable characters - defrocked,
mischief-making monks, half-mad professors, gypsies and musical
geniuses - become entangled in a story that involves theft,
perjury, scholarship, murder, love, and the squandering of plenty
of cash.
