The ghost of the Mary Celeste
Martin, Valerie, 1948-2014
Book
A ghost ship appears in the mist. To a struggling author called Arthur Conan Doyle, it is an inspiration. To Violet Petra, the most infamous mystic of her age, it is a reminder. To the death-obsessed Victorian public, it is a preoccupation. To one family, tied to the sea for generations, it is a tragedy. 'The ghost of the Mary Celeste' is an examination of love, nature and the fictions that pass as truth.
