I have been avoiding Costco because I know the holiday items have arrived. I have zero self control. I will buy Gnomes, ceramic trees, and outdoor lights that I do not need. I will put them in my cart while announcing I do not need them. I will even get angry with myself, and give myself guilt trips as I casually stroll down each aisle looking for more items I do not need. I do need milk and paper towels. Two items that are in the very back of the store. The Costco gods know I will pass the Gnomes on the way to the paper towels and milk. I wonder if Amazon has something like those blinders you see for horses, but for humans. You know… the ones that make it so you can only look straight ahead. Ya… I need those.

A spiritualist, an insane asylum, a lost little girl…

When Clive, anxious to distract a depressed Henrietta, begs Sergeant Frank Davis for a case, he is assigned to investigating a seemingly boring affair: a spiritualist woman operating in an abandoned schoolhouse on the edge of town who is suspected of robbing people of their valuables. What begins as an open and shut case becomes more complicated, however, when Henrietta — much to Clive’s dismay — begins to believe the spiritualist’s strange ramblings.

Meanwhile, Elsie begs Clive and Henrietta to help her and the object of her budding love, Gunther, locate the whereabouts of one Liesel Klinkhammer, the German woman Gunther has traveled to America to find and the mother of the little girl, Anna, whom he has brought along with him. The search leads them to Dunning Asylum, where they discover some terrible truths about Liesel. When the child, Anna, is herself mistakenly admitted to the asylum after an epileptic fit, Clive and Henrietta return to Dunning to retrieve her. This time, however, Henrietta begins to suspect that something darker may be happening. When Clive doesn’t believe her, she decides to take matters into her own hands… with horrifying results.
