It’s the year 1907 in London and Professor Patrick Moore finds himself faced with a paranormal predicament. As the head of a university department dedicated to investigating metaphysical matters, Patrick’s work studying life after death has come under threat. His colleague Nelson Ward has vanished along with a sizable donation meant for their research. Now the dean has given Patrick just three days to prove the existence of ghosts. If he fails, the whole department will be shut down.
Patrick sets out on a frenzied search for answers, exploring the rich spiritualist culture of turn-of-the-century Britain. He questions scholars and amateur enthusiasts alike, trying to piece together where Ward has gone. Guiding Patrick is medium Beatrice Shaw, who offers her unusual insights. Even Sir Arthur Conan Doyle lends a hand, bringing perspectives from both his paranormal pursuits and detective fiction.
