A chilling locked-room mystery packed with impossible crimes, eerie atmosphere, and ingenious twists, The House at Devil's Neck is the fourth instalment in Tom Mead's acclaimed Joseph Spector Mysteries.

When reports of a ghostly soldier begin to emerge from Devil's Neck—a remote manor house with a dark past as a First World War field hospital—illusionist-turned-detective Joseph Spector is drawn back to a place he knows all too well. Hoping to uncover the truth behind the haunting, he joins a group of paranormal enthusiasts staying at the isolated mansion.

But when rising floodwaters cut off the house from the outside world, the unsettling ghost stories give way to something far more terrifying. One by one, the stranded guests are murdered, leaving Spector to untangle a web of deception before the killer strikes again.

With Inspector Flint investigating a seemingly separate case that may hold the key to the mystery, Spector must solve an impossible crime where everyone is trapped, no one can escape, and the next victim could be him.
