Strange, moth-like creatures begin to haunt Wes on his way to the estate, and when he arrives at the old hall, he discovers the beings are far more sinister than they first appeared, along with a witch named Beltane who claims him as her own.

When two seamen, Henry Thomas and Alfred Baum, perish in a tragic accident aboard the tanker S.S. Hanville in 1925, their spirits seem unwilling to rest—appearing as phantoms off the ship's side at twilight, witnessed by crew and officers alike. Captain Adams takes the matter seriously enough to report the hauntings to the ship's owners and even captures photographic evidence on the vessel's return voyage. The mysterious images develop into something that challenges belief itself.

His investigation into the impossible crime leads Cotter to Pierre Gaston, a clairvoyant and occult author, and an eerie discovery that will force him to confront something far more sinister than ordinary criminal enterprise. Written and illustrated with mounting dread, "The Voice of Death" traps Cotter between the rational world and forces that defy it.
