Halloween, 1881. Edinburgh. And the dead are restless. Inspector James McLevy is called to action 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. When a vicious murder occurs with evidence of supernatural strength, all roads lead to Sophia Adler, a beautiful young American spiritualist, and the inspector becomes involved with one of the most dangerous women he has ever encountered...
