About this title

Synopsis

In 1885, a retired sea captain in Portsmouth dies suddenly and, according to the newly married Dr. Arthur Conan Doyle, mysteriously. Shortly after his death, an emissary of the Rajah of Rajitpor arrives at the dead man's door, seeking information about a stolen treasure. With his visiting friend, the Reverend Charles Dodgson, Doyle attends a seance where a spiritualist intends to contact the dead man, revealing the secret behind his death and the missing treasure. But in the midst of it, the spiritualist dies with the word "murder" on her lips. Now Doyle, with the help of his friend, must find the murderer.
