About the Book
'THE DEAD ARE NOT ALONE. THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE MIST AND IT TALKS TO THEM.'
In a remote clinic in 18th-century Italy, a lonely girl writes to her mother. She tells of pale English aristocrats and mysterious Russian nobles.
She tells of intrigues and secrets, and strange faceless figures that rise from the sea. And she tells about the enigmatic Mrs Pond, who arrives with her husband and her physician.
What she doesn't tell her mother is the truth that everyone knows and no one says - that the only people who come here do so to die.
A thrilling, all-new adventure featuring the Doctor, Amy and Rory, as played by Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill in the spectacular hit series from BBC Television.

I grinned, and then saw the expression on my husband’s face. Rory was clinging to a chair, and making a noise. Making an ‘oh my god, you didn’t say this was a seafood restaurant’ noise. My husband has one of those faces that looks best when it is worried. Since we’ve been travelling in the TARDIS he’s looked worried a lot.
‘Relax!’ I cried. ‘We’ve done sixty degrees before, haven’t we, Doctor?’
‘Oh yeah, heaps,’ agreed the Doctor as the TARDIS’s time engines made a noise like a crashing steam train. ‘Well, perhaps not sixty degrees. Not for a while.’ A small fire started on the control console. ‘Hum,’ he sighed sadly. ‘The temporal couplings are burning out. Still, what else can you expect? Sixty degrees is serious stuff.’
‘Right,’ muttered Rory just loudly enough to carry over the sound of an exploding time machine.
The Doctor wrapped his arm desperately around the giant crystal pillar at the heart of the TARDIS. It was glowing an unhealthy colour. If it was a girl on a hen-do,
