Ghostwriter

Unemployed, with her savings dwindling, Sara Howell thinks things are looking up when she lands a ghostwriting job and rents the affordable island home of her favorite author, Seth Fortner, who mysteriously disappeared in 1925. Strange things happen, making Sara wonder if Seth ever left. When she finds an old trunk of Seths letters, she delves into a world she never imagined, filled with love and a family curse it seems only she can break. "After being laid off from the newspaper where she worked as a journalist, and losing her boyfriend in rapid succession, Sara Howell is looking to downsize before her dwindling savings run out. Things are finally starting to look up when she lands a job ghostwriting a popular politician's biography and rents an isolated island house, which turns out to have once been the home of her favorite author, Seth Fortner, who mysteriously disappeared in 1925. But when strange things start happening, as objects break or go missing, and terrifying visions appear, Sara begins to wonder if Seth ever left, or if she is slowly losing her mind. What happened to Seth is a secret closely guarded by the family to this day, a family who seems to exist under a terrible curse. Through an old trunk of letters she discovers in the attic, Sara unravels the mystery and becomes caught up in a tale of greed, lost love and the horrors of WWI."--Page 4 of cover
