Olympia Publishers | Author Spotlight: Henry J. Cockburn, Invalided out of the army in 1900 and facing the prospect of destitution, George Fairlea cannot believe his luck when he is employed by the charismatic and mysterious Percival Lowe. His only concern, as he embarks upon a whirlwind of excitement and extravagance, is that he does not really know what Lowe's occupation is. As his employer draws him deeper and deeper into his confidence, however, and as the delights of his new life are overshadowed by inexplicable hauntings, Fairlea finds himself challenging not only his own morality, but the very fabric of the world he inhabits. Lowe, he discovers, has unleashed a force more dangerous and more powerful than either of them could possibly have imagined.
