BRIGHTON 1871: A book by two respectable spinsters claiming to have seen the ghost of the Prince Regent in Brighton Pavilion shocks the town and attracts the attention of spiritualist Arthur Wallace Hope. Young Mina Scarletti, a writer of horror stories and investigator of psychic phenomena, suspects fraud. As tensions rise and hearts flutter dangerously. Mina and her associates delve into the mystery and, in doing so, they soon discover that nothing is as it seems.
‘The Royal Ghost benefits from a nicely evoked setting in Victorian Brighton, and casts entertaining light on an era when ghosts and psychic phenomena were all the rage.’ – MARTIN EDWARDS, Vice Chair of the Crime Writers’ Association, and Series Consultant for the British Library’s Crime Classics
