  Sophie Burgoyne can trace her lineage back to the ancient French kings and dukes of twelve centuries ago. A long pedigree doesn't help her when she only has a few pounds in the bank. Sophie knows she must take action, or she and her father, the vicar of sleepy Havering-under-Lyme, will face the horrors of genteel impoverishment. 
   
   
   
  With an entrée into the upper echelons of British society through her wealthy relations and knowledge of the world of domestic servants, Sophie crafts a plan for the future. She goes to London to start a business—a rare event and a difficult task for a young woman in 1920. Sophie must face many unexpected challenges and dangers as she steps into a world of murder, mystery, and subterfuge. 
   
   
   
  The rates for domestic servants are competitive, and the service is second to none. So, to solve a servant problem or investigate a sudden death, there is no better choice than . . . Burgoyne's (Secret) Agency.

  John Milton was the most dangerous assassin in Group Fifteen, the black-ops organization that solves problems when diplomacy has failed. Now Milton is Her Majesty's most wanted fugitive—an anonymous loner with a deadly set of skills. 
   
   
   
  When Milton is arrested following a brawl in a Texas bar, the last person he expected to bail him out was a glamorous operative from the Russian Secret Service. The Russians blackmail Milton into finding his predecessor. But she's a ghost, like him, and just as dangerous. Milton finds himself in deep trouble, playing the Russians against the British in a desperate race against time with the life of his oldest friend on the line.

  "Unearthing the Final Shadows of a Victorian Master."
  
  For the true connoisseur of the macabre, the journey does not end with the well-known classics. Volume 18 of the A Book of Ghosts series represents the deep-strata of Sabine Baring-Gould's supernatural imagination. This volume is dedicated to the rare, the obscure, and the previously uncollected—stories that bridge the gap between his work as a folklorist, a priest, and a pioneer of English horror.
  
  The Scholar of the Supernatural: In this advanced volume, we see Baring-Gould at his most experimental. These selections move beyond the standard haunting to explore "The Archaeology of Terror"—where the horror is found in ancient artifacts, forgotten church records, and the dark corners of regional history. The prose here is steeped in the "Antiquarian Realism" that would later inspire the likes of M.R. James, focusing on the danger of intellectual curiosity and the physical weight of the past.
  
  A Collector's Essential: This volume is designed for those who seek to complete the definitive portrait of a Victorian polymath. It highlights Baring-Gould's unique ability to find the "unholy" within the "holy," using his deep knowledge of ecclesiastical history to craft scares that feel grounded in ancient truth.
  
  This archival edition is a must-have for scholars of Gothic literature, bibliophiles of the strange, and anyone dedicated to the preservation of classic British weird fiction.
  
  Complete the legacy. Buy "A Book of Ghosts: Volume 18" today and own a piece of supernatural history.
