Synopsis

In contemporary Buffalo, Dan's world is upended when he unearths a young woman's skeleton while replacing the gas main in a city neighborhood. Using the meager clues available, he and his archaeologist friends embark on a quest to piece together the mystery of her death. In 1851, the newly widowed Madeleine Talmadge and her orphaned nieces, Jane and Lydia, seek the aid of a cunning spiritualist, Alexander Dodge Lewis. Lewis leads them on a perilous journey from one séance to the next, attempting to summon the spirit of Madeleine’s late husband and promoting Lydia's latent abilities as a medium. Jane, suspicious of his motives and fearful of his influence, seeks to disentangle her aunt and cousin from Lewis’s beguiling sphere—with dire consequences. As the past collides with the present, layers of time peel back to reveal long-buried secrets of loss, love, and murder. Alongside its riveting plot, Riddle of Spirit and Bone offers subtle rumination on what can be observed, what can be known, and what can be trusted.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

After a career as a university professor teaching and publishing in philosophy, Carolyn Korsmeyer turned her hand to fiction. Her previous two novels include a historical narrative and a contemporary mystery set at the last millennium. RIDDLE OF SPIRIT AND BONE features the spiritualist movement of the nineteenth century, a topic that blends philosophy with fiction by prompting reflection on belief and knowledge, illusion, delusion, certainty, and doubt.
