Praise for the Sergeant Cribb series:
'Delightful Victorian mysteries, featuring Sergeant Cribb and Constable Thackeray of the Yard. . . . [A] fine picture of period vice, good mystery plotting, and fun.'-San Francisco Chronicle
'These are humorous novels and the humor is character-based. . . . Cribb was the first of the new-wave Victorian crime-fighters and is still arguably the best.'-Sherlock Holmes magazine
The spiritualist movement has captivated a segment of society: manifestations, the occult, and 'sensitives' are in vogue. But the seance sites seem to be targeted for burglaries. Then, while Cribb is on the case, someone murders the medium.
