This gripping locked-room mystery sees Joseph Spector investigate murderous machinations at a haunted manor house in his most sinister case yet.

A former First World War field hospital, the spooky old mansion at Devil's Neck attracts spirit-seekers from far and wide.

Illusionist-turned-sleuth Joseph Spector knows the house of old. When stories spread of a phantom soldier making mischief, he joins a party of visitors in search of the truth.

But the house, located on a lonely causeway, is soon cut off by floods. Before long, the stranded visitors are being killed off one by one. The only possible culprit? The ghostly soldier...

With old ally Inspector Flint working on a complex case that has links to Spector's investigation, the two men must connect the dots before Devil's Neck claims another victim... Spector himself.
