Publisher's summary
Hackney Village, the 1540s. Bryck Place is a new construction: the first house in London built from bricks – but it already has a ghost. The apparition of a young woman, dressed in black, walks the halls nightly, whispering strange incantations. Nobody knows what this entity is, or what it wants, until Ace and the Doctor arrive to unlock the mystery...
Plot
Agnes walks Bryck Place alone at midnight and sees the pale apparition of a woman in black climbing the stairs, whispering, as she does every night. The servants all know about the woman, whom they believe to be some sort of revenant, but have not told Sir Ralph or Lady Elin.
In a London tavern, the Doctor and Ace briefly meet Agnes, who runs in screaming and runs away upon seeing them. Ace follows her through the streets and, when she eventually does catch up to her, Agnes is surprised to find that she is flesh and blood and, after the Doctor catches up, says that Ace looks just like the spectre at Bryck Place. On the way there to investigate, Agnes tells the Doctor and Ace about the ghost and surprises them by telling them that the house is brand new.
The Doctor, Ace and Agnes see the spectre. Ace, angry at having her form stolen, goes to attack her before the Doctor stops her, worried about what could happen, and they follow her.
