THE CASE OF THE SINGING GRAVEYARD
London, and the fog lies thick over a forgotten graveyard where no one has been buried in twenty years.
But something sings there.
Night after night, a caretaker at the disused Greychapel Cemetery hears a voice rising from behind locked gates and unclimbed walls - sorrowful, sweet, and utterly without explanation. The newspapers call it THE SINGING DEAD OF GREYCHAPEL. Gravediggers refuse to work. Spiritualists offer their services. And a pale young woman named Charlotte Ashworth arrives at 221B Baker Street carrying a secret she has guarded for six long years.
Sherlock Holmes suspects, from the first, that no ghost has ever needed a locked door. But the truth he and Dr. Watson uncover beneath that ancient chapel - of a tunnel driven toward a City bank, a musical cipher hidden in plain hearing, and a man who has not seen daylight in six years - proves stranger, and far more human, than any tale of the supernatural.
As Holmes traces freshly repointed brickwork, a mason's suspiciously busy cart, and a melody that hides a criminal's schedule inside its grief, he begins to unravel a conspiracy patiently built across six years - one resting upon an old injustice that sent an innocent man into hiding, and upon a devotion that never once wavered in the darkness.
From the fog-bound streets of Victorian London to the candlelit catacombs beneath a dying cemetery, THE CASE OF THE SINGING GRAVEYARD is a classic Sherlock Holmes mystery of locked-room ingenuity, buried secrets, and a voice that refuses to be silenced.
Fans of authentic Holmes and Watson adventures - richly atmospheric, fairly clued, and true to the spirit of the original canon - will not want to miss this haunting case from the casebooks of 221B Baker Street.
