description: 1786 Jerusalem College Cambridge. The ghost of murdered Sylvia Whichcote has been sighted prowling the grounds by Frank Oldershaw a disturbed fellow commoner. When his anxious mother employs John Holdsworth author of The Anatomy of Ghosts- a stinging account of why ghosts are mere delusion - to investigate the sighting the uneasy status quo at Jerusalem is rapidly torn apart. Holdsworth grows to realise that the sinister Holy Ghost Club governs the privileged life at Jerusalem with a rigour far more effective than anything the Master Dr. Carbury could muster. And when Holdsworth finds himself haunted - not only by the ghost of his dead wife Maria but also Elinor the very-much-alive Master's wife - his fate is sealed. He must unravel the circumstances surrounding Sylvia's death ... or the hauntings will continue.
