When the poles switched on Gray Wednesday, the world was plunged into darkness and chaos as technology failed and economies crumbled. Add to that the ghosts. In this strange new world, everyone has their own ghost to haunt their days and nights: a spouse, lover, child, friend or complete stranger. There as a shadowy reminder of our past misdeeds and regrets. In this strange new world, Detective Oscar Mariani is sent to investigate the gruesome mutilation and murder of a young girl and stumbles into a world where reality and magic, the living and the dead are never far from each other and the ghost that haunts him may be a blessing or a curse. This is a haunting story of a haunted world. Recommended this to my book club.
