Seven Hills

Wilmott Watkyns is no ordinary private investigator. This plucky, dynamic woman has been involved in all manner of investigations in Cincinnati from the 1970s to the present day. What's more, she has specialized in the probing of ghostly or supernatural phenomena, using psychics, séances, and other paranormal means to solve the mystery. In this first volume of her "casebook," Wilmott recounts some of her more interesting and provocative cases. There is the case of a diner haunted by the ghost of a frequent client; an apartment plagued by the revenants of its former tenants; a house afflicted by screaming spectres; and much else. Ken Faig, Jr., author of Tales of the Lovecraft Collectors, has brought his formidable skills as a scholar, critic, and fiction writer to bear in these engaging narratives-some of which probe disturbing instances of sexual aberrations. Wilmott herself is an unapologetic lesbian, but she always places her professional duties above her sexual proclivities-but that doesn't mean she can't dally with a scrumptious female after the case is over!
