'This agency stands flat-footed upon the ground and there it must remain. The world is big enough for us. No ghost need apply.'
Arthur Conan Doyle, The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire.
In this series of five traditional novelettes, Holmes and Watson probe evidence that suggests ghouls and ghosts are behind the macabre, uncanny and eerie happenings in a grimy house in Stepney, on board one of Her Majesty's men o' war in the Thames, at the British Museum, at the Japanese Village Exhibition and at a séance in a genteel villa in West London.
Have ghosts had the temerity to challenge Sherlock Holmes, or will Holmes and Watson uncover human agencies behind the supposed supernatural?
