Book 23: Haunting on Henrietta Street

May 1931

Lowan only wants to finish his wireless research before he sails back to America. Professor Edward Appleton, who could answer his questions, is too busy dealing with a stolen car. Instead, Lowan visits John Logie Baird, the inventor of television—who’s just been hired to investigate a haunted basement!

Lights flicker. Things are mysteriously broken. A pale figure appears in the dark and vanishes through a brick wall. And when a man is found lying injured at the bottom of the stairs, claiming to have been pushed by the Reaper, the ghost stories become impossible to ignore. Lowan’s unusual instincts tell him the fear is real—but the haunting isn’t what it seems.

With London’s fog closing in, Lowan must untangle the truth before the cellar becomes a killing ground again. Someone in the house is using terror to cover something far worse than a superstition. The investigation ties together a stolen car, a sealed chamber, old rumors, and a desperate criminal. Lowan has one night to find the truth and uncover the human monster behind it all.

The ghost is only the beginning. The real danger is the man who made it.

S. E. Grosskopf’s writing is strongly influenced by the old pulp fiction magazines and Golden Age radio dramas of the 1930s-1950s. If you like fast-paced action and mystery with a dash of urban fantasy and quirkiness, then you’ll love these books. This is the twenty-third book in the series. The books follow chronologically. Reading them in order is recommended.
