Moris Klaw solves crimes that defeat ordinary reason by sleeping at the scene and gathering the psychic impressions left behind. An eccentric antique dealer with an encyclopedic knowledge of obscure legends and forbidden objects, Klaw investigates impossible deaths, haunted houses, stolen relics, ancient curses, and mysteries that appear to have no earthly explanation.
Accompanied by his intelligent daughter Isis, a skeptical police inspector, and the journalist who records his cases, Klaw applies keen observation and his strange theory of psychic residue to ten baffling investigations. From a locked museum gallery and a lethal Greek instrument to headless mummies, spectral voices, and the sinister Veil of Isis, each case combines detection with the atmosphere of the supernatural.
The Dream Detective presents one of the most unusual investigators in early mystery fiction. Sax Rohmer blends ingenious puzzles, occult menace, exotic artifacts, disguises, and theatrical revelations in a collection that will appeal to readers of supernatural mysteries, impossible crimes, and eccentric detectives.
