A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A phone call from the dead. Lucid dreaming. A ghost manipulating the London stock exchange. Isa is not surprised by the late night telephone call from her cousin Alette - until she discovers the next morning that Alette has been dead for two days. Still grief-stricken by the death of her lover, Isa travels to her cousin's house in London where Alette has left behind three envelopes and a request. The envelopes contain instructions on how to bring about the financial downfall of Alette's former husband: a man who has made Alette's life a misery while she was still alive.

Unbeknownst to her, Alette was murdered, and now it is Isa's turn to be drawn into the killer's world of dark fantasy and lethal obsession.

A clever debut ghost story that starts with a phone call from a dead woman and keeps you guessing until the end. This South African author is one to watch (Daily Express)
