The Curse of the Missing Boot: A Tale from The Rook
The Booger Curse is back-grouchy, supernatural, and with a proven track record in sudden fatalities. Upon the treacherous and poorly-drained wastes of Bogmoor Moor, the final English heir to the house of Booger has been most frightfully slain-scared to death, the coroner suggests, by a spectral hound of considerable discourtesy.
Hope arrives in unlikely form: one Wyatt Booger, recently located in the wilds of Texas, where he had hitherto lived in blissful ignorance of his ancestral obligations, local curses, or the dietary habits of phantom dogs. He is promptly shipped across the sea to claim Booger Hall, a crumbling estate with too many chimneys and far too much atmosphere.
Enter Lysander Ravencrest, consulting detective of formidable intellect and a wardrobe best described as 'wilfully dramatic', and Dr Gregory Bancroft, his ever-dependable partner in crime (solving), breakfast (eating), and danger (stumbling into). Ravencrest remains in the city of The Rook to investigate a suspiciously convenient goblin-related footwear insurance scheme, while Bancroft escorts the new lord to his new home, where the breakfasts are large, the locals unnerving, and the bog unusually deadly. There, they encounter convicts on the run, a deadly mire with secrets of its own, and an ancestral curse that seems determined to thin out the family tree once and for all.
A tale of ghosts, inheritance, sinister breakfasts and questionable footwear, The Curse of the Missing Boot is the latest ludicrous misadventure in the Tales From The Rook.
