The Psychic Detective

From the dust jacketFrederica Masters, commonly known as Fred, is an extremely gifted medium. One evening whilst dining out with an admirer, she bumps into Francis St Clare, a wealthy young man who is an authority on the occult. He at once realizes her psychic power, and convinces her that by becoming his assistant she can fulfil her potential.

However, whilst helping Francis destroy the evil spirits that lurk in his house, Fred is tricked by her new employer into going down to the lowest astral level, and there fights with an eighteenth century aristocrat who wishes to imprison her forever. Will Fred ever manage to escape and finally rid the house of its vicious elemental inhabitants?

Again in this novel, we have the kind of plot one has come to expect from R. Chetwynd-Hayes. A mixture of pathos, humour and horror.
