Horace is apprenticed to learn the new art of photography in 1872 New York City. His master is not a very diligent worker but he does understand the new art of photos and how to sell to his customers.
When the photographer is asked to work with a wealthy lady Horace is forced into using a spy camera to take photos of the deceased daughter's portrait as part of a hoax to create more business. Even though Horace feels trepidation at being part of a dishonest scam he goes through with his instructions.
He gets the photos that he was ordered to take along with a surprising addition.
Follow Horace as he and Pegg, the young servant girl who was also a friend of the deceased, as they try to solve the mystery of the photo and how it appeared.
An excellent read, a bit of mystery, the birth of the art of photography and a good dose of paranormal activity to make a great page turner.
