It is 1922 and Dr. Alan Twist, an authority in the occult sciences and the paranormal, has been invited to a remote corner of Cornwall to investigate a haunting.
His journey is interrupted by the shrill cries of a young woman. Everyone in the region knows they portend disaster and rightly fear that many mysterious deaths will follow.
This is detective Dr. Twist’s first case.
After making a number of corrections, the paperback and the ebook are back on the market.
Apologies for any inconvenience.

This time it’s from Countdown John’s Christie Journal which also covers Japanese honkaku (scratches head and strokes chin, although not necessarily in that order).
When someone says of one of your books:
“This an absolute triumph and a reminder that the Golden Age tradition is alive and well for those writers who choose to embrace it and is not limited by time, place, or even genre itself,” it’s best to lie back and enjoy it:
Turning Japanese #12: Death Among the Undead (2017) by Masahiro Imamura (translated by Ho-Ling Wong)
Here’s Bad Player’s take:
“…a fantastic, unique, well-plotted mystery.”
