The Case of the Woman in Black

Another Detective Vincent James Gideon Novel

In this continuing Whodunnit Series, Vincent James Gideon is walking on Broadway in downtown Black Rock Cove when a three-alarm fire burns a three-story building. He rushes to the scene and stares up and sees a young girl standing on a window ledge with smoke billowing out on all sides. The detective doesn't hesitate. After all, he is now a world-famous detective and a natural-born brave man!

The novel continues as he packs his bags and heads out to a small community north of BRC known as Rock Island. There, he begins investigating supernatural powers at work in the O'Dell Mansion.

Before he leaves to return from a first visit and gets knocked into unconsciousness, he runs into Stoney Wright, the District Attorney, and Doctor Jeremy Thomas, a well-respected surgeon in the city.

He calls on them to assist him in investigating several deaths that have gone unsolved and a town that is on edge. On his return, he goes undercover as Charlie Johnson.

All clues and evidence point to a Woman in Black that has been seen at the exact location where three murders have taken place. Who is she? Why is she always seen at the murder scene? Why have two men who witnessed the murders suddenly been found dead of a heart attack? Is there any truth to what the servants say about blaming the murders on the supernatural?
