the first of the brand-new World's End Bureau Victorian mystery
series.
London, 1880. "I'm dreadfully afraid someone is threatening to kill my
wife ..." When accounts clerk Ernest Stibbins approaches the World's End
investigation bureau with wild claims that his wife Albertina has been
warned by her spirit guides that someone is out to harm her, the
bureau's owner Lily Raynor and her new employee Felix Wilbraham are
initially sceptical. How are the two private enquiry agents supposed to
investigate threats from beyond the grave?
But after she attends a séance at the Stibbins family home, Lily comes
to realize that Albertina is in terrible danger. And very soon so too is
Lily herself ...
