So when he is contacted by a medium "of some renown" and asked to investigate a murder, he jumps at the chance to get out of the city. The only thing is that the murder hasn't happened yet--the medium, one Hope Thraxton, has foreseen that her death will occur at the third seÌance of a meeting of the Society for Psychical Research at her manor house in the English countryside. Along for the ride is Conan Doyle's good friend Oscar Wilde, and together they work to narrow down the list of suspects, which includes a mysterious foreign Count, a levitating magician, and an irritable old woman with a "familiar." Meanwhile, Conan Doyle is enchanted by the plight of the capricious Hope Thraxton, who may or may not have a more complicated back-story than it first appears. As Conan Doyle and Wilde participate in se;ances and consider the possible motives of the assembled group, the clock ticks ever closer to Hope's murder"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Doyle, Arthur Conan, $d 1859-1930 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 gsafd. 941 $a 8 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204073101.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110055018.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006075116.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720042934.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418101146.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202081047.0 952 $l DEPA173 $d 20151029144107.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20140404011244.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A0A3A46BBBE11E38906827BDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
