Description

A secret government unit is formed under the oversight of Adam Harrison, famed paranormal investigator. The six members he's gathered know a little of the otherworldly—each has honed a psychic talent of their own.Jackson Crow, part English, part Cheyenne, heads the group. Haunted by his experience with an ancestral ghost who saved his life as a child, and the recent murders of two previous teammates, Jackson can't tell if Adam's demoted him or given him an extraordinary opportunity. Despite his link to the realm of spirits, he's well aware that the living commit the most heinous crimes, with spiritualist charlatans existing merely to fool and seduce the unwary.To counterbalance Jackson's careful skepticism, Adam Harrison has paired him with Angela Hawkins, a young woman who learned the painful lesson of loss at an early age. A police officer utilizing her paranormal intuition in Virginia, she already has her hands full. But Adam's call to New Orleans is strong.The case: In a historic mansion in New Orleans's French Quarter, a senator's wife falls to her death from a balcony. Most think she jumped, distraught over the loss of her young son. Some say she was pushed. And yet others believe she was beckoned by the ghostly spirits that inhabit the house—once the site of a serial killer's grisly work.Whether supernatural or all too human, crimes of passion, greed and desire will cast the pair into danger of losing their lives…and their immortal souls.

Booklist Review

Graham returns to New Orleans with a tale about a wonderfully varied group of young investigators working for Adam Harrison's secret government agency that investigates the paranormal. Led by skeptical Jackson Crow, the team moves into the historic French Quarter mansion where a young senator's wife fell to her death from her bedroom's balcony in what was ruled a suicide. But the senator is adamant that his wife would not commit suicide even though they were both devastated by the death of their child. The mansion has a grim history as the home of a nineteenth-century serial killer who buried his victims in the basement. Angela Hawkins, a member of the ghost-busting team, sees ghosts. As she uncovers the house's secrets, both from its bloody past and surrounding the senator and his entourage, strange happenings put the team in peril as they try to discover the truth about the death of the senator's wife. Another smart, page-turning work of paranormal romantic suspense from a prolific and popular author.--Tixier Herald, Diana Copyright 2010 Booklist

Publisher's Weekly Review

In bestseller Graham's sultry novel of paranormal romantic suspense, Jackson Crow, a former member of the government's Behavioral Sciences Unit in Washington, D.C., leads a covert group investigating a reputedly haunted New Orleans house. When Regina Holloway, the wife of a popular Louisiana state senator takes a fatal fall from the balcony of the couple's French Quarter mansion, her death is officially ruled a suicide, but could ghosts have been involved? Angela Hawkins, a Virginia police officer with the ability to detect paranormal activity, partners with Jackson professionally and romantically as she assists his team in discovering the truth behind Regina's death. Graham (Night of the Vampires) expertly blends a chilling history of the mansion's former residents with eerie phenomena, once again demonstrating why she stands at the top of the romantic suspense category.
