Spectregraph #3 adds some interesting and unexpected depth to the series

When the larger-than-life, brilliant, and enigmatic Abrose Everett Hall died, he cast a pall over all those he knew — and no one suffered more than his former assistant and lover, Felix. Now an old man, Felix has dedicated the rest of his days to solving the paranormal puzzle of the spectregraph — his paramour’s life’s work, interrupted. But what is Felix’s connection to the Thanatos Group, and how do Janie and Vesper factor into his plans?
