The Case Files

A Mabel Shirley Case File

Following on from The Corpse Door, these cases file return to an earlier chapter in Mabel Shirley’s life—before the war, before the government’s attention, before her name was whispered in certain circles.

It is 1904. Mabel is seventeen and still learning to live with the gift she never asked for. In the quiet village of Easterwich, she runs the family shop and studies the old ways under the watchful eye of Felicity Redhill.

Then comes the invitation: a request to investigate strange disturbances at Brockthorn Abbey. What waits there is more than folklore. It is Mabel’s first reckoning with the world beyond—and the moment that sets everything in motion.
