Sarah Piper's lonely threadbare existence changes when her
temporary agency sends her to assist a ghost hunter.
Alistair Gellis--rich, handsome, scarred by World War I, and
obsessed by ghosts--has been summoned to investigate the
spirit of the nineteen-year-old maid Maddy Clare, who is
said to haunt the barn where she committed suicide. Maddy
hated men in life, and she will not speak to them in death.
But Sarah is unprepared to go alone into a haunted barn
looking for the truth. She's even less prepared for the
arrival of Alistair's associate, rough, unsettling Matthew
Ryder, also a veteran of the trenches, whose scars go deeper
than Sarah can reach.
Soon, Sarah is caught up in a desperate struggle. For
Maddy's ghost is no hoax--she's real, she's angry, and she
has powers that defy all reason. Can Sarah and Matthew
discover who Maddy was, where she came from, and what is
driving her desire for vengeance...before she destroys them
all?"--
