Synopsis

Some mysteries are solved; this one remembers you.

When investigator and columnist Abram Alabaster is summoned to The Wickswood Inn—an aging manse steeped in séances, tarot, and tangled grief—he expects to puncture a charlatan’s act. Instead, he unearths a meticulously staged house of mirrors: missing reflections, piano wire coiled like a garrote, a spirit trumpet that drinks the room’s light, and invitations that arrive decades too late.

As thirteen places are set and only twelve will sit, Abram’s inquiry into a Halloween tragedy spirals into an occult ledger of debts: a murdered proprietor, a vanished medium, and the apple-grove secret of a red-haired child whose lullaby still haunts the keys of a shrouded Baby Grand. Each clue points toward a conjurer who bends memory as deftly as fate—and toward a revelation that recasts victim, witness, and culprit in a single breath.

Gothic in mood and razor-edged in deduction, this novel braids Houdini lore, witchcraft, and locked-room misdirection into a séance that must finally be finished. To free the Wickswood’s dead, Abram must solve the one case no investigator can walk away from: the mystery of himself.
