ABOUT THIS BOOK
Inspector George Grimchard of Scotland Yard is the only man to have solved a premeditated murder in the last fifty years without resorting to the testimony of the deceased. Moreover is he the grandson of Edgar Grimchard, disgraced founder of the Department of Irregular Souls, a police department that has virtually ridden the British Empire of murder by solving crimes using the testimony of spirits held at séance.
When a body is unearthed in the garden of a Holland Park mansion and the ghost claims to be the man who is now running the Department of Irregular Souls, Grimchard is thrown together with the lazy, indulgent detective Arthur Lyle, himself of the Department. Faced with the fact that the man running the Department is himself an impostor, the mismatched duo soon unearth dark secrets that could shatter the art of spiritualism forever. The Department, it seems, is in league with Nazi spiritualists rescued from Berlin at the end of the war and brought to England. Together, they have been working to refine a technique for giving substance back to ghosts – allowing them to walk and talk without the need for a séance. Ostensibly, this is part of a political move to allow the torture of ghosts – but, for Grimchard, the matter is a simple one: a murder, hidden for thirty years, which must not go unpunished.
