Inspector George Grimchard of Scotland Yard is the only man to have solved a premeditated murder in the last fifty years without resorting to the testimony of the deceased. Moreover is he the grandson of Edgar Grimchard, disgraced founder of the Department of Irregular Souls, a police department that has virtually ridden the British Empire of murder by solving crimes using the testimony of spirits held at séance.

When a body is unearthed in the garden of a Holland Park mansion and the ghost claims to be the man who is now running the Department of Irregular Souls, Grimchard is thrown together with the lazy, indulgent detective Arthur Lyle, himself of the Department. Faced with the fact that the man running the Department is himself an impostor, the mismatched duo soon unearth dark secrets that could shatter the art of spiritualism forever. But, for Grimchard, the matter is a simple one: a murder, hidden for thirty years, which must not go unpunished.

Goodreads 4-star review: ‘The Company of Ghosts is a unique concept which drew me in very quickly… I enjoyed this story, and it really got me thinking. A good detective/paranormal thriller.’
