This gripping locked-room mystery sees Joseph Spector investigate murderous machinations at a haunted manor house in his most sinister case yet.

A former First World War field hospital, the spooky old mansion at Devil's Neck attracts spirit-seekers from far and wide.

Illusionist-turned-sleuth Joseph Spector knows the house of old. When stories spread of a phantom soldier making mischief, he joins a party of visitors in search of the truth.

But the house, located on a lonely causeway, is soon cut off by floods. Before long, the stranded visitors are being killed off one by one. The only possible culprit? The ghostly soldier...

With old ally Inspector Flint working on a complex case that has links to Spector's investigation, the two men must connect the dots before Devil's Neck claims another victim... Spector himself.

Reviews
I love this series. Tom Mead is a master of the locked room mystery and his series character, Joseph Spector, is one of the most compelling sleuths in crime fiction today. Tom's latest Spector book, The House at Devil's Neck, is next level. Fast-paced but also creepy and atmospheric, it' s the work of a writer at the very top of his game. * Barbara Nadel, CWA Dagger-winning author of the BBC's The Turkish Detective *
A brilliant homage to the locked-room mysteries of the golden age, with Tom Mead bringing his own gruesome sensibility to the mix. The House at Devil's Neck is brilliantly structured, exceptionally macabre, and filled with reversals and twists. This is a wonder cabinet of a book, and Mead is a magician. * Peter Swanson, New York Times bestselling author of A Talent for Murder *
