Krátky popis
An all-around skeptic when it comes to the supernatural, literature
professor William Porter gives no credence to claims that Twin
Towers, the seaside manor he's just inherited, might be haunted. He
finds nothing mysterious about the conditions in which his Uncle
Horace died, leaving the property behind, it was a simple case of
cardiac arrest, nothing more. So, though his wife, more attuned to
spiritual disturbance, refuses to occupy the main house, Porter
convinces her to spend a summer at the estate and stay in the lodge
elsewhere on the grounds. But not long after they arrive, Porter
sees the evidence of haunting that the townspeople speak of: a
shadowy figure illuminated by the red light of Horace's writing
lamp, the very light that shone on the scene of his death. And
though he isn't convinced that it is a spirit and not a man, Porter
knows that, whichever it is, the figure is responsible for the rash
of murders--first of sheep, then of people--that breaks out across
the countryside. Somehow, though, the suspect eludes him every time
and, in his pursuit, Porter risks implicating himself in the very
crimes he hopes to solve.Written with atmospheric prose and tension
that rises with every page, The Red Lamp is a hybrid of murder
mystery and gothic romance that shows the ",American Agatha
Christie", at the height of her powers.
