Laying the Ghost

About the Book

A husband’s obsession with historic reenactments threatens to tear his small family apart when they purchase an old house that may be haunted. A jealous wife and a young son with second sight complicate matters as the ghost of a young soldier, a survivor of the Battle of Culloden, Scotland’s last stand against the English, inhabits their life. His insistence that a bloodied relic in their possession be returned to the soil of Scotland wreaks havoc upon their world. An unexpected brush with death, the exposure of a beloved leader as a fraud, and a view into the reality of history puts things into rightful perspective.
