The year is 1929. A cold, persistent rain beads on the cobblestones of Ashbourne as you approach the door of a narrow brick house at two minutes past nine. The latch clicks open before your knock lands. Vera stands in the doorway, her russet fur slightly bristled, the shoulders of her green wool jacket darkened by the damp. Her brown eyes are wide, glassy with the ghosts of a recent memory, her expression strained with a distress she cannot lock away.
