A Jack and Bea Mystery
|
An art dealer accused of murder. A notorious criminal on a desperate hunt for diamonds. An imposing house with many twisted tales to tell. What is the connection between them?
December 1923: After returning a stolen artifact to New Guinea, Jack and Bea Collingwood arrive in cinematic Sydney, Australia, for what they hope will be a restful stay with their friends Dr. Miller and his wife, world-renowned spiritualist and medium Madame de Clermont. However, the imposing house on Jacaranda Street, where the four friends enjoy their reunion, holds many dark secrets that will force Jack to question his sanity.
When the house is broken into one night, and a woman's body is found in Hyde Park, Jack finds himself reluctantly working with the New South Wales police to solve a cold case murder involving a local art dealer with a murky past. Jack is introduced to Sydney's seedy underworld and discovers the city's most notorious gang leader is convinced diamonds are hidden somewhere in the house and he'll do anything to lay his hands on them, including threatening Bea Collingwood. As the incidents escalate, Jack learns the history of a family torn apart by rivalry and the pursuit of wealth, and that everything centers around the house on Jacaranda Street and the mysterious woman Jack keeps seeing in an upper-level window.
Who is this woman, and what is the story she is so desperate to tell? Can Jack unravel the past and find out what really happened on a fateful day in January 1914? After all, the truth cannot be buried forever.
A modern gothic ghost story.
