Description

Celebrated actor Bassett Oliver vanishes after arriving in coastal Scarhaven, and his last destination—the ancient Keep—pulls investigators into hidden identities, buried secrets, and deadly ambition. Atmosphere thickens with every revelation. Spoken as when Scarhaven Keep still asks what a vanished star left behind in stone.

Author

J. S. Fletcher (1863–1935) treated the detective story as a trade, and honoured it. He produced at a Victorian-Edwardian pace that later Golden Age writers would recognise: wills, country houses, city chambers, and the long English suspicion that respectability is a costume. Fletcher is not flashy. He is reliable — which, in crime fiction, is a kind of style.
