Sarah Piper takes a temp job as an assistant to rich ghost hunter Alistair Gellis. He needs her because the ghost of Maddy Clare hates men. Sarahs afraid, but shes more afraid of returning to her lonely, wretched London flat. This is a crackling good ghost story, with unique twists and turns. Alistair and his male assistant, Matthew Ryder, are survivors of World War I and both have emotional baggage. Maddys ghost is full of rage, and Sarah will need all her courage to solve the puzzle and prevent Maddy from destroying them all.
