A ghost ship appears in the mist.
To a struggling author called Arthur Conan Doyle, it is an inspiration.
To Violet Petra, the most infamous mystic of her age, it is a reminder.
To the death-obsessed Victorian public, it is a preoccupation.
And to one family, tied to the sea for generations, it is a tragedy.
In salons and rough seas, s ances and the mind of a genius, Valerie Martin looks behind the myth and brings an extraordinary story to life. Engrossing and mesmerising, intricate and endlessly intriguing, THE GHOST OF THE MARY CELESTE is an examination of love, nature and the fictions that pass as truth.
