His mission is twofold: solve a series of high profile disappearances and, even more astonishing, locate the spirit of a dead mystic, Abdu el Yezdi, who has served the Crown as an advisor since Queen Victoria was so monstrously assassinated. Burton and Swinburne are back – pitted against a cabal of dangerous men, facing seemingly supernatural entities while fighting for their very existence...
