A Swiss German Teacher on the Trail of an Ancient Secret—between Love, History, and the Supernatural
When Kurt Wagner arrives in Dorset to begin his new position at the prestigious Sherborne School, he expects a peaceful fresh start. But on his way there, he pauses before a grand old estate—the mysterious Ven House—and feels an inexplicable chill. From that moment on, the mansion won’t let him go.
With the help of the charming librarian Kim Ashley, the eccentric detective Tyron Marmaduke Grimsworth, and the intuitive Joanna Hutchinson, Kurt uncovers a story of love, loss, and a curse that has haunted the Carent family for centuries. A lady in black pleads for redemption from beyond the grave—and Kurt seems to be the only one who can hear her.
Amid misty gardens, ancient parish records, and a séance that blurs the line between life and death, a mystery novel unfolds in the best British tradition—atmospheric, romantic, and full of haunting twists.
A novel about the past and destiny, about what endures—and about a love that transcends even death.
