When a series of seances at an out-of-the-way hotel threatens to get out of hand, Ella Trotter sends for her old friend Adelaide Adams, hoping that her fellow spinster will be able to bring a modicum of common sense to proceedings and debunk the perpetrators as opportunistic conmen. But soon, Adelaide finds herself trapped in a spooky mountain retreat, with a series of gruesome murders on her hands - murders that may just have been committed by the reincarnation of a wealthy tycoon's suicidal daughter...

First published in 1938, this gruesome tale is a classic murder mystery from the golden age of American crime fiction!

The first Adelaide Adams mystery, "Murder à la Richelieu" (1937), is also available from Black Heath Editions.
