Revenant of Thraxton Hall : The Paranormal Casebooks of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

"e;Entwistle's absorbing first in a paranormal series featuring Arthur Conan Doyle... an intriguing cast for his whimsical plot."e; PUBLISHERS WEEKLY It is 1894, and Arthur Conan Doyle has just killed off Sherlock Holmes, making him the most hated man in London. So when he is contacted by a respected medium and asked to investigate a murder, he jumps at the chance to leave the city. But the murder has not yet occurred-the medium, Hope Thraxton, has foreseen that she will die at a seance of the Society for Psychical Research, to be held at her manor house in the Lancashire countryside. Along for the ride is Conan Doyle's good friend Oscar Wilde, and together they work to narrow down the list of suspects, which includes a mysterious foreign Count, a levitating magician, and an irritable old woman with a monkey familiar. Meanwhile, Conan Doyle is enchanted by the plight of the capricious Hope Thraxton, who may not be quite what she seems. A curse hangs over the Thraxton family, and the two friends are running out of time, as the clock ticks ever closer to Hope's murder. "e;A delight.
