Synopsis "I've suffered for my art, now it's your turn." So begins the tale of Ted Wallace, known (unaffectionately) as the Hippopotamus. Failed poet, failed theater critic, failed father, failed husband--but he has his faults too--Ted is lured by an irresistible bribe to rise from his mud bath existence in the bars and clubs of London and investigate a series of alarming and extraordinary miracles that have been disturbing the peace at Swafford Hall, a country mansion with a secret.
