The White Lady Paul Halter

Set in 1924, Halter's exceptionally clever... Owen Burns mystery... finds Burns investigating a series of bizarre events in the English village... which has been haunted for centuries by a specter known as the White Lady, whose appearances have always been bad omens... managed to disappear from a room whose one exit was under observation and pass through a solid fence... the local soothsayer predicts... that the next appearance will result in actual harm, a prophecy that's borne out when someone dies after being touched on the forehead by a figure who looks like an attractive woman dressed in white. Further visions of the White Lady ratchet up the tension. Halter once again makes crafting logical solutions to multiple impossibilities look easy.' Publishers Weekly starred review.
