Description

A phantom begins to stalk Victoria and Basil through the hollow corridors of a Yorkshire mansion, leading the Pendywick Pair to a watery—or fiery—clash with the very enemies that mean to destroy them.

It is too late to retrieve the code. Victoria and Basil must instead recreate it and get it to the queen as fast as possible. To do that, they must travel to the remote Yorkshire seaside, along with Basil's sister and her husband, and their friend Fred Brody, to a vast, empty house of Professor Winchester's where Victoria's reference books reside. But a ghostly presence begins to interfere, drawing closer and closer every day. Will Victoria, who has already lost so much and achieved so much, be able to stop her old mentor's wicked plans once and for all?

"The Ghost of Robin Hood's Bay" is the fifth installment in Alydia Rackham's captivating Victorian mystery series. If you like a Dickensian atmosphere, Sherlockian thrills, and Austenian intrigue, you will love this adventure.
