Novelisation
- This novelisation is based on the original television serial (DW): Black Orchid which was shown from 1st March 1982 and written by Eric Saward
- The cover and information shown on the right is for the original Target novel and featured the artwork of Tony Masero. (See below for information on other UK and international editions which published with a different cover).
Publisher's summary
On a lazy June afternoon in 1925 the TARDIS materialises at the tiny railway station of Cranleigh Halt.[sic.] Warmly welcomed by the local gentry, the Doctor, together with Tegan, Adric and Nyssa, is invited to the splendid masked ball by Lady Cranleigh and her son, Charles.
But a dark menace haunts the secret corridors of Cranleigh Hall. And before the ball is over, the quiet summer will be shattered by the shocking discovery of a brutal murder…
Illustrations
- None
Deviations from televised story
Refers to the events of The King's Demons, despite this story lying in the Doctor's future. (Presumably Terence Dudley, who wrote both stories, got a little confused.)
