Secret Mysteries #19

A private detective investigates a series of supernatural disturbances plaguing a wealthy widow's mansion—mysterious organ music in the dead of night, toppled furniture, and unexplained sounds that have left the household in fear. When the investigator's first overnight watch yields nothing, he suspects the phenomena will resume once he's gone, so he and his team set a careful trap to catch whoever—or whatever—is behind the haunting.

When a mysterious compulsion drives a driver and his companion Paula down an unfamiliar storm-swept road, they stumble into a roadblock manned by two escaped convicts desperate to reach the city. Held at gunpoint, the pair are forced to help the fugitives commandeer a boat to an isolated lighthouse, where they find themselves trapped between ruthless criminals and a lighthouse keeper haunted by something far stranger. As tensions mount and chances for escape slip away, the stormy night holds secrets that neither the convicts nor their captives fully understand.

When the Hagen brothers receive a mysterious ivory globe from a dead man's estate, they dismiss it as a curiosity—unaware that the carved sphere harbors a sinister curse that will pull them into an impossible nightmare. Detective Bentley Carson must unravel the locked-room mystery of their vanishing while confronting forces that defy reason itself. "The Globe from the Gobi" traps its characters in a battle between greed, revenge, and an ancient magic hidden inside nested shells.
