London, October 1890. Crime scene photographer Sarah Bain is marrying Detective Sergeant Barrett, but the wedding takes a sinister turn when the body of a stabbing victim is discovered in the crypt of the church. The dead man is Charles Firth, a "spirit photographer". When Sarah develops the photographs he took in the church, one shows a pale, blurred figure attacking Firth. A ghost? But the victim had plenty of enemies in the human world-- and the path to the truth leads into Sarah's own sordid family history. -- adapted from jacket |
