A young New York physician with a taste for the mind’s oddities is called into wealthy households where the trouble is rarely what it seems. Across linked stories such as The Key, The Crystal, The Gypsy and The Unburied, he meets nervous heiresses, warnings, apparent miracles and strange legacies, and treats them with a mix of science and intuition.
