A mystery novel. Miss Amelia Butterworth makes a second outing to help the New York detective, Mr Gryce.
In a remote village people keep disappearing while crossing ‘Dead Man’s Lane’. Miss Butterworth, a maiden lady with firm principles and considerable ingenuity, investigates with her usual adroitness. She arranges to stay with the children of a former schoolmate. But why are there mysterious noises and screams in the night? What is all this talk of a phantom coach? Has Miss Butterworth accidentally strayed into a Gothic novel?
