Gemma Doyle won't be spooked when a body shows up at the psychic fair

in bestselling author Vicki Delany's ninth Sherlock Holmes Bookshop

mystery.

When a psychic fair arrives in West London, Gemma Doyle, owner of the

Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium, wants nothing to do with it. But

somehow, at the urging of Donald Morris, an enthusiastic Sherlockian,

she finds herself talked into attending a seance, along with baker and

best friend Jayne Wilson, store assistant Ashleigh, and former pop star

Bunny Leigh.

But to her surprise, Gemma finds herself banned

from the seance and shown the door. Curious, she listens in from outside

the room. The medium informs a disappointed Donald that Sir Arthur

Conan Doyle will not be able to make it tonight. Then, Gemma hears a

voice cut off, a cry for help, a scream. Gemma bursts into the library

to see that someone has collapsed on the table--dead. The windows are

all locked, and Gemma was guarding the only door. Someone in this room

is a murderer. But who?

The game is once again afoot for Gemma

Doyle as she hunts a killer. But this time, is the killer of flesh and

blood or had the medium summoned doom from beyond the veil?
