"Gleason has vamped up the familiar world of Holmes and Watson… to paranormally exhilarating effect!” –The New York Times

Shocked, Mina is still looking at the invitation when constables from Scotland Yard begin pounding on her front door. They’ve arrived to arrest her for the murder of a man she’s never even heard of.
