Things are looking up for Charlie Alliss - a new love, a new home and a new career as a Fortean investigator. Wonderland Investigations is open for business and the future is looking good for Charlie and his partner Maddie. Then they get their first case. It seems harmless enough, nothing more than an elaborate hoax built around legends and the story of a film star who vanished in 1927. But they quickly learn that nothing about it is quite what it seems. Soon they find themselves playing a strange game against a mysterious opponent and facing an uncanny force in a house that might just be haunted, deranged vampire hunters and a serial killer. When it all gets a bit too close to home Charlie's new life begins to unravel. Still, it could be worse. At least the undead don't really walk the earth... Do they?
