A sudden interest in the occult is sweeping through the English village of Plummergen, and magic could be a prelude to murder most foul. Scotland Yard is out of its depth, and requests the help of retired art teacher Miss Seeton, who—armed with nothing more than her sketchpad and umbrella—proves to be an unlikely master of detection. First published in 1971, this third book in the series is the work of British actor Heron Carvic.
