Rituals: a Faye Longchamp mystery
Faye Longchamp doesn't believe in ghosts. But she's an
archaeologist—dead people are her life.
While working in Rosebower, a rural New York town founded by
spiritualists, Faye is surrounded by people who talk to the dead on a regular
basis. When the most influential spiritualist in town, Tilda Armistead, invites
Faye and her project assistant to commune with the dead, she can't say no.
An hour later, her crystal ball shows Faye things no
rational mind can explain. Tilda is dead. The evidence says that someone
trapped Tilda in a small room, nailing its one door shut before setting her
Victorian home on fire. There is no possible way for Tilda to have escaped the
blaze, let alone drive for miles before finding Faye and dying in her arms. Yet
Tilda did. How? And why?
In this bizarre community, Faye finds herself surrounded by
people who had reason to kill Tilda—her estranged daughter who may be the heir
to the Armistead fortune; the daughter's husband, a stage magician with a long history
of making things vanish; a rich developer with dreams of a ghostly Disneyland
project in Rosebower, a project which Tilda fought with her considerable
political clout; and the town's holistic doctor whose mysterious herbal potions
are consumed by customers far and wide.
As Faye watches the psychics and charlatans jockey for
power, and sends a cry for help to her shrewd husband Joe, Tilda's sister,
Myrna, is slowly dying. Will Rosebower reveal its secrets to Faye before more
goes up in flames?
