What happens when the dead refuse to stay buried? London, 1890. A man is pulled from the Thames, identified by three witnesses, and buried in a pauper’s grave in Southwark. The paperwork is signed.

A bell rings at a quarter past two in the morning. Three nights running. From a room that has been locked for ten years. When Mrs. Honoria Vexley arrives at 221B Baker Street in the bitter December of 1894, she brings a riddle that defies every rational explanation. Her daughter Clara died a decade ago; the drawing room was sealed in her memory; no key exists, no window stands open, and no wire appears disturbed. Yet the bell has sounded—with force and precision—at the same impossible hour.

What if the dead could sit for their portrait? London, 1889.

No one can explain how she appeared on the glass plates. And when Mrs. Marston’s brother, Felix Dane, recognises the spectral figure and whispers a name he has not spoken in years, he vanishes into the London fog.
