Part vacation, part research, he finds renewed purpose working at a curious magazine of weird phenomena - BIZARRE. The owner/editor is herself a curiosity and opens up an extraordinary new world - of strange but true hauntings, hunts and spirit worship. When Richard is introduced to beautiful heiress Sophia Endering he finds himself helplessly in love with her. But she is as dangerous to herself as she is for those who love her - for she has an almost unstopable death wish. Strange forces are at work and the uncanny twists of fate which brought Richard to London have something much more apocalyptic in store....
