A desperate rider on a ghost horse seeks support from Strange Thomas, a modest cook whose gift—or curse—is to see unresting shadows of the dead. And, if possible, help them. This path to saving a lost soul will run through the territories of darkness unknown to Thomas so far. His task is to investigate the carefully hidden secrets of a grim estate and its inhabitants.

Roseland, a magnificent estate on the West Coast, was favored by a Hollywood magnate in the roaring twenties. Now it belongs to a multi-millionaire financier who lives reclusively with his servants—and, for only one night, it provides lodging to Strange Thomas and his charming companion Annamaria, the Lady of the Bell. Given their recent clashes with deadly dangerous enemies, the comfort of the estate should seem very attractive to Thomas. But in Roseland much is hidden from outsiders—even from the sharp gaze of Thomas himself, who begins to suspect that instead of a refuge he has found a small hell.

The soul-chilling horrors of Roseland convince the main character that it’s time to head out on the road as soon as possible. However, the fortuneteller Annamaria insists that fate brought them here for a reason, and that Thomas promised a ghost he would do everything possible to save them. What other secrets have Roseland and its owners kept for nearly a century? What awaits the brave—or insane—person who dares to face the darkest evil face to face? The answer lies only with Thomas himself, who, like his creator, is in perfect form and ready to accept the most dangerous challenge for his curious practice.
