Sealed Entrance

Brian Winters and his family have disappeared, leaving a sealed entrance leading nowhere in an otherwise normal house; an attractive newly wed appears to have attempted suicide by jumping off a footbridge over a major road into the traffic; even more bizarre, a rural bus off its route crashed through a wall and into a ravine with no survivors, and Theo Havens has been strangled up on the moors with no one around but his wife ... and she's lost her mind.

DCI Millicent Hampshire can't see a connection between these odd events, but her psychic friend Tobias N'Dibe, aided by his psychic teenage protegee, Chelsey Braden and her mongrel dog Scruffy can ... but their information comes from the astral plane, and it is going to need a big astral punch up before it's over: fortunately all three of them (including the dog) have astral counterparts.
