Ghostwriter
(1999)
Jake O’Hara never expected a séance at a
New York apartment to be part of her job. Jake had signed on as a
ghostwriter, secretly writing for a grande dame of mystery fiction who’s
talent died before she did. The author’s East Side residence was
impressive. But her entourage-from a Mrs. Danvers-like housekeeper to a
lurking hypnotherapist-was creepy. Still, it was all in a day’s work-until
a killer started going after ghostwriters, and Jake suspected that she was
chillingly close to the culprit. Attending a séance and asking the dead
for spiritual help was one option. Some brilliant sleuthing was another-
before Jake’s next deadline turned out to be her own funeral.
