Several years have passed since the events of Delia's
Shadow, and Delia has continued to learn more about her
mysterious gift to see ghosts. Delia has settled into
married life with Captain Gabe Ryan, but now another ghost
has started threatening their well-being. A young girl has
appeared and seems focused on Gabe. Delia will once again
turn to her mentor, Dora Bobet, for assistance, but will it
cost them everything? And does the ghost have anything to do
with Gabe's latest case?
A BARRICADE IN HELL is the second book in the Delia
Martin series but can easily be read as a standalone.
Several years have passed between the events of the two
books and so the relationships have changed slightly. Jaime
Lee Moyer provides readers with all the necessary history,
including the recent updates, for a new reader to follow
both the storyline and the bond between the various
characters.
Jaime Lee Moyer knows how to write one heck of a ghost
story! Moyer's ghosts have just the right blend of eerie and
sadness to draw the reader into the mystery, while keeping
us on edge. I love the setting of A BARRICADE IN HELL and
the way Jaime Lee Moyer weaves tiny historical details into
the context of the series. A BARRICADE IN HELL is a
spectacular blend of the paranormal and a detective
investigation. I highly recommend A BARRICADE IN HELL!
In Jaime Lee Moyer's BARRICADE IN HELL, Delia Martin has
been gifted (or some would say cursed) with the ability to
peer across to the other side. Since childhood, her constant
companions have been ghosts. She used her powers and the
help of those ghosts to defeat a twisted serial killer
terrorizing her beloved San Francisco. Now it's 1917—the
threshold of a modern age—and Delia lives a peaceful life
with Police Captain Gabe Ryan.
That peace shatters when a strange young girl starts
haunting their lives and threatens Gabe. Delia tries to
discover what this ghost wants as she becomes entangled in
the mystery surrounding a charismatic evangelist who
preaches pacifism and an end to war. But as young people
begin to disappear, and audiences display a loyalty and
fervor not attributable to simple persuasion, that message
of peace reveals a hidden dark side.
As Delia discovers the truth, she faces a choice—take a
terrible risk to save her city, or chance losing everything?
