Mystery Historical
Postbellum America makes for a haunting backdrop in this
historical and supernatural tale of moonlit cemeteries,
masked balls, cunning mediums, and terrifying secrets
waiting to be unearthed by an intrepid crime reporter. Edward Clark is a successful young crime reporter in
comfortable circumstances with a lovely, well-connected
fiancée. Then an assignment to write a series of exposés on
the city’s mediums places all that in jeopardy. In the Philadelphia of 1869, photographs of Civil War dead
adorn dim sitting rooms, and grieving families attempt to
contact their lost loved ones. Edward’s investigation of the
beautiful young medium Lucy Collins has unintended
consequences, however. He uncovers her tricks, but realizes
to his dismay that Lucy is more talented at blackmail than
she is at a medium’s sleights of hand. And since Edward has
a hidden past, he reluctantly agrees that they should
collaborate in exposing only her rivals. The mysterious murder of noted medium Lenora Grimes Pastor
as Lucy and Edward attend her séance results in a plum story
for Edward—and a great deal more. The pair want to clear
themselves from suspicion, but a search spanning the houses
of the wealthy to the underside of nineteenth-century
Philadelphia unearths a buzzing beehive of past murder,
current danger, and supernatural occurrences that cannot be
explained…
