Back from the Grave

A young lady named Billie has escaped from a private mental home, ‘Bloomfield’, run by Dr. Cox — and her first port-of-call is Sir Arthur Sinclair. She wants the great detective to investigate the asylum, because some weird things have been going on. The doctor in charge is acting in an odd way, and a skeleton is apparently haunting the place...Once Sinclair delves into things, he finds that ‘Bloomfield’ had been owned by a man named Peabody, whose whacky will left all his property to his grand-daughter Sylvia, but also decreed that Peabody be buried some place within the house itself. Is it possible that the dead man is now haunting the house and terrifying its inmates? This is the first English-language reprint of 'Back from the Grave' since its original publication in 1940
