In “The List of 7,” Mark Frost delivers a meld that’s part historical novel, part Sherlock Holmes mystery and part occult/horror tale.
The year is 1884, the location is London, and the missive recipient is aspiring writer Arthur Conan Doyle. It’s more than enough bait to lure the bachelor surgeon, and fervent explorer of the occult, into a cunning-and lethal-trap. The letter is unsigned, but the subtext indicates a fair damsel is in distress.
A dull Christmastide turns cryptic as a letter slips under the door, imploring the doctor to attend a seance being staged the following evening.
