The Ghost of Rataskaevu Street cover

What links a prostitute, a Flemish painter and a tower watchman? All three claim to have seen a ghost on the same street in fifteenth-century Tallinn. And all of them have been found dead soon after. Melchior Wakenstede, apothecary, is charged with unearthing the truth behind these seemingly-supernatural murders. But when a pious and powerful merchant dies, along with a castrated and disfigured tramp, Melchior perceives a more medical connection between the deaths. Melchior must rise above the competing interests of merchant guilds, religious orders and Teutonic knights, to get to the bottom of the mystery.

Those seeking a richly textured, intricately detailed, meticulously researched mystery...may have found their quarry * Mystery Scene Magazine *
