A corpse dressed in old-fashioned clothing is found by rescuers in a burning building in London's Moon Lane during the Blitz of Christmas 1940. At first, police believe that the dead man must have come from some pantomime or Dickensian show, but then they realize that the Blitz has reached such an intensity in 1940 that even the bravest showbiz people have closed up shop. Another policeman says he talked to a second person in antique clothing walking in the same neighborhood, but the mystery man has vanished into thin air. Is he a ghost…or something completely different? Seven spellbinding stories of mystery and horror by the author of the historical mystery novel, CASE OF THE DIXIE GHOSTS.
