The Mystery of the Ravenspurs: A Romance and Detective Story of Thibet and England

For five hundred years the Ravenpurs have held their castle and their dignity. Now they are dying one by one, each death stranger and more sinister than the last, and the old dark house is running out of heirs. When Ralph Ravenpur returns to Ravenspur Castle blind and estranged, he brings with him questions no one wants answered and perhaps the one thing the killer least expects: a man who must learn to see with his ears and his memory. Meanwhile Geoffrey and Vera find solace in each other while the family crumbles around them, love offering its fragile counterweight to murder. From the fog-bound English countryside to the mysterious mountains of Tibet, the trail leads outward into a world of exotic danger and ancient secrets. This is Edwardian gothic at its most entertaining: a family curse wrapped in a detective puzzle, seasoned with romance and real menace. For readers who want their mysteries with atmosphere and their romances with stakes.
