The death chamber

Calvary. The name does not inspire cheerful associations, and Calvary Gaol, with its grim façade and brutal history, does nothing to improve the reputation. On a chilly night its ghosts can all but be heard chattering, from the doomed political radical to the dapper ladies’ man with a knife in his sleeve, from the blackmailed doctor to the spiritualist who fed, like a vampire, on the misery of World War I. Calvary is abandoned now, but those ghosts are still calling, and TV producer Chad Ingram can’t stop listening. With a crew and a journalist in tow, he resolves to film in the prison’s execution chamber—with the bustle and technology of the 21st century, surely they’ve got nothing to fear. The Death Chamber is yet another chilling, suspenseful outing for master of suspense Sarah Rayne.
