A tale in the 'supernatural investigator' genre. The old manor house of Baelbrow has long been known to be haunted - but for generations, the resident spirit has never bothered anyone. But when the owners rent the place out for the summer to a visiting professor, something changes - and a maidservant ends up dead. The professor calls in Detective Flaxman Low to see what could've happened with Baelbrow's ghost.
Det. Low is awfully good at drawing a great many conclusions from a very few clues...

Kate & Hesketh Prichard, madre e hijo, escribieron un total de doce relatos, bajo el seudónimo de E. & H. Heron, con Flaxman Low como protagonista. Ahora nos llega la edición integral e ilustrada de la mano de Alberto López Aroca, que además nos ofrece un artículo dedicado al personaje.
Flaxman Low es un erudito que aplica el método científico para investigar fenómenos sobrenaturales. Todos los relatos transcurren en casas encantadas, donde los implicados terminan solicitando la ayuda show more del investigador. Los fenómenos a los que tiene que hacer frente es bastante variada, incluyendo hasta una momia. Su método está basado en la observación y el posterior estudio, y es un claro precedente de otros investigadores de lo oculto, como Thomas Carnacki, John Silence y Jules de Grandin. show less
