White Phantom City is the continuation of The Breath of the Zephyr
Ellie has made a new friend in Venice but this strange young woman is harbouring a terrible secret. Is she somehow connected with the Venetian murders or just an innocent bystander caught up in a web of deceit?
Are these killings the work of a serial killer or is there some other unseen force at work here?
As Arthur would have paraphrased his favourite fictional detective:
"The setting is a worthy one, if the Devil did desire to have a hand in the affairs of men."
If you enjoy a good murder mystery with a twist of the paranormal such as Don't Look Now and Rebeca by Daphne DuMaurier, Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol and Time after Time (and the film adaptation) by Karl Alexander, you will want to read White Phantom City and Sorrow for the Lost.
