A beautifully presented sinister seasonal mystery from the acclaimed author of Sherlock Holmes & The Christmas Demon.

1889. The First Terror.

At a boys prep school in the Kent marshes, a pupil is found drowned in a pond. Could this be the fulfilment of a witch's curse from two hundred years earlier?

1890. The Second Terror.

A wealthy man dies of a heart attack at his London townhouse. Was he really frightened to death by ghosts?

1894. The Third Terror.

A body is discovered at a Surrey country manor, hideously ravaged. Is the culprit a cannibal, as the evidence suggests?

These three linked crimes test Sherlock Holmes's deductive powers, and his scepticism about the supernatural, to the limit.
