Synopsis
London at the dawn of 1918 and
Ireland’s most famous literary figure, WB Yeats, is immersed in supernatural
investigations at his Bloomsbury rooms.
Haunted by the restless spirit of
an Irish girl whose body is mysteriously washed ashore in a coffin, Yeats
undertakes a perilous journey back to Ireland with his apprentice ghost-catcher
Charles Adams to piece together the killer’s identity.
Surrounded by spies, occultists
and Irish rebels, the two are led on a gripping journey along Ireland’s wild
Atlantic coast, through the ruins of its abandoned estates, and into its
darkest, most haunted corners.
Falling under the spell of dark
forces, Yeats and his ghost-catcher come dangerously close to crossing the
invisible line that divides the living from the dead.
Anthony will be back on the blog on the 29th November answering questions about his book but in the meantime here's your chance to win your own copy
