Cree Black didn’t believe in ghosts until she encountered her dead husband. Now she not only sees ghosts, she feels, hears, and even talks to them. Seeking answers to life’s mysteries as well as to riddles from her past, she’s putting her newfound abilities to use. Based out of Seattle, Cree and her partner are detectives of the spirit, scientific ghost busters who study ghosts as they try to exorcise them from people’s lives. But the ghost in their latest client’s life has Cree fearing for her own. The 150-year-old Beauforte House, in New Orleans’s Garden District, has more than a few secrets. Once the home of one of the city’s most influential families, the house has long stood empty, until Lila Beauforte resumes residence and begins to see some of those secrets literally come to life. Tormented by an insidious and violent presence, Lila finds herself trapped in a life increasingly filled with forgotten childhood terrors. Using an unconventional take on psychology and a powerful natural empathy with Lila, Cree finds herself navigating the dangerous worlds of spirit and memory as they clash in a terrorizing tale of murder and mistaken identity. |

From the Editors of Barnes and Noble: Teenager Tommy Keeday suffers strange and dangerous seizures while a student at a school for gifted Native Americans in New Mexico and is believed to be possessed by an evil Navajo spirit. Seattle-based parapsychologist Cree Black is asked to study and save the boy. Along with her team of ghost hunters, she uses her own empathic skills to delve into the dark secrets of the teachers and fellow students who might have something to do with Tommy’s illness. Hecht makes a bold effort to give readers believable investigations into the supernatural. Cree considers and applies theories involving magnetic fields, mysterious energies, genetics, and geographical forces. The narrative is leavened with a great many separate back-stories, as several fascinating Navajo myths and local legends are discussed in depth. This plausible, spooky, and grabbing mixture of solid detective work and paranormal chills is highly recommended. |

In this thrilling novel set in two periods of San Francisco history, Cree Black confronts the mystery of one of the strangest victims of the Great Quake. Bert Marchetti, an old family friend of Cree’s and an SFPD homicide inspector, has asked Cree to help investigate a human skeleton recently unearthed in the foundation of a fine Victorian home — apparently the bones of a victim of the 1906 earthquake. The bones have been sent to UC Berkeley for analysis, where their peculiar characteristics have intrigued the forensic anthropology team. They call the skeleton Wolfman. Who was the wolfman? What caused his anatomical deformities, and how did he end up in that grand hilltop home? Cree’s historical research takes her back to the unholy glory days of the Barbary Coast, old San Francisco’s infamous red-light district. As she assists at the forensics lab, she also begins to realize that Bert Marchetti’s involvement with the case is more complex than he has let on. Her narrative is illuminated by entries from the 1889 diary of Lydia Schweitzer, a Victorian woman with her own secrets — and her own compelling interest in the person who would come to be known as the wolfman. A vivid and elegantly plotted thriller that reveals San Francisco’s hidden face across two centuries, Bones of the Barbary Coast tells the story of two women determined to face human nature’s darkest aspects with courage and compassion. |
