Overview

When the living fail to solve the crime, the dead step in to help. Reginald Faraday is a struggling Victorian detective with an unusual advantage: his deceased grandfather, the legendary Percival Faraday, refuses to stay buried. Bound by an ancient curse, Percival's ghost aids his grandson in cases the police have given up on, sometimes by opening locked doors, sometimes by hurling objects across the room. But spectral assistance comes with a price. Percival appears when he chooses, disappears at inconvenient moments, and offers no explanations for his sudden interventions. This collection contains six complete mini mysteries: The Séance Photograph: A blackmail scheme leads to murder, political conspiracy, and a brother who may not be as dead as everyone believes. The Cobbled Corpse: A debt collector's death unravels an ironworks forgery ring and a society wife's deadly secret. The Buried Past: Reginald's disgraced father reappears claiming innocence in a forger's murder, forcing the detective to investigate the one case he'd rather leave buried. The Thrice Dead: Three murders on Christmas night lead to a sinister care home where wealthy families disappear and no one asks questions. The Vanished Hostess: A New Year's house party turns deadly when the hostess vanishes and guests begin dying one by one. The Halloween Specter: At a weekend gathering on a private island, three women are murdered simultaneously by what witnesses swear is a ghost. From gas-lit London streets to sinister institutions and isolated country estates, Reginald must navigate Victorian society's darkest corners with only his wits, his associate Charlotte, and an unpredictable ghost to guide him. PLUS: A preview chapter of Detective Faraday and the Haunted Hotel, the next full-length adventure. Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes with a supernatural twist.
