Title: The Spectre in Brown
Description: *Can the spirits of the departed revisit this earth? If so, are they capable of deeds of violence - even of murder*?

The questions startled the country. Many angrily denied such possibilities; others told of strange visions and amazing experiences.

This remarkable story opens with the interruption of a London society wedding by Father Savrola because the parties to it had been divorced. Father Savrola ran a religious community of no fixed denomination and some people dismissed his intrusion as a publicity stunt. When his friend, Everard Brotherton, aged and blind, met his death by violence, four independent witnesses - one a policeman - swore they had observed Savrola on the scene at the time. Then a newspaper discovered that the house of the tragedy had a sinister history and raised the question of The Spectre In Brown.

Roger Bennion eventually finds the true solution to a mystery presented in Herbert Adams' most intriguing manner.
