In the summer of 1895, when Brenton Grey rolls into the industrious little town of Carmallow Crown, he knows not the sordid secrets that live there-nor what murderous mysteries fidget restlessly beneath its soil. Haunted by a comical apparition, shocked by a vicious murder, and confounded by puzzles wrapped up in riddles, the unlikely detective finds himself on a hunt for not one, but three different killers. As he questions his own sanity, and wrestles ageless moral dilemmas, he is taken on an emotional journey that will change him forever. In a time of horse carriages, pouffy dresses and class separations-at the dawn of electricity, the bowler hat, and the questioning of gender identity-a tale unfolds of forbidden lusts, dark deeds, and buried bones. Brenton Grey must become a master manipulator, to bring justice, closure and peace, to an entire town-and to a flirty ghost, with a wicked sense of humour
