Marblehead is a huge work, encompassing all of 1927, a year in which H.P. Lovecraft, researching a book he'd been hired to write for the Nazis, travels the East Coast in the company of Charles Sylvester Viereck.

Now, after fifteen years apart, Lindsey and Plum are thrown together again...

And now...is this really the end? One Murder at a...
