About This Book

A consulting detective and his companion investigate a reputed hereditary curse when a country physician brings news of a mysterious death on a remote moor. The companion remains on site to collect testimony and follow leads while the detective assembles physical evidence and unravels local rumors, revealing motives and human agency behind eerie occurrences. The narrative alternates methodical detection, gothic atmosphere of the moorland, and gradually disclosed family secrets, examining the clash between scientific reasoning and superstition and how careful observation resolves apparently supernatural threats.
