Father Gorman is called to a dingy rooming house to see a woman who, before she dies, confesses a bizarre tale to him. Leaving the house he is followed and, in the fog, a fatal blow is struck. A piece of paper with nine names written on it is found in the dead priest’s shoe. The clue leads to The Pale Horse Inn, home of three women: a psychic, a medium, and a witch.
Can Mark Easterbrook and his friend Ariadne Oliver unravel the occult mysteries?
