あらすじ・解説
a series of unsettling events surrounding the former palace in Venice where Lord Montbarry died and which has since been converted into the Palace Hotel. Agnes Lockwood experiences a terrifying apparition of a disembodied head in her hotel room, while Francis Westwick encounters a disturbing odor there, leading to investigations by hotel staff and other members of the Montbarry family who also have strange experiences. Countess Narona, Lord Montbarry's widow, seems to be at the center of the mystery, exhibiting peculiar behavior and possessing a manuscript that appears to be a fictionalized account mirroring the circumstances of her late husband's death and the disappearance of his courier, Ferrari, who may have been murdered. The search for answers reveals a hidden compartment in the former palace, where the courier's remains are discovered, and the Countess's dramatic death before her manuscript can fully explain the events.
