Hetty Wainthropp Investigates

The Astral Plane

Hetty gets mystical as she investigates Maurika Rome, a spiritualist suspected of using seances - and blackmail - to prey on the savings of the recently widowed. When Hetty goes undercover and invents a late husband she wishes to contact, she begins to wonder if Mrs Rome isn't the real thing - until a woman claiming to be her "late husband's" illegitimate daughter shows up demanding money.
