Produktbeschreibung

Sometimes death is not the end.

From acclaimed author Robert Brighton comes a sweeping saga of mystery, love, and intrigue in "an epic in miniature." This "achingly beautiful story" with compelling clues and buried secrets will prove irresistible to uncover.

Smuggler King George Eberly faces a dilemma-his shipments of whiskey, opium, and French photographs are being intercepted somewhere near the sprawling Forest Lawn Cemetery. And neither he nor his most trusted henchmen can devise a solution.

Until, that is, young Mary Carkriff arrives from Canada, eager to seek her fortune in the big city. George is immediately drawn to Mary-and to her expertise with codes and ciphers-and the new arrival soon becomes his indispensable First Mate.

Meanwhile, heiress Georgia Moffatt and her devoted right-hand man Christian Schamber watch powerlessly as the land that was once the Moffatt Orchards is slowly eaten up, an acre at a time, by progress-and profit.

Before long, a much bigger problem confronts both couples, when a band of resurrectionists-men who disinter freshly buried corpses to sell to medical schools-sets up operations in Forest Lawn. And they will stop at nothing, including murder, to achieve their unholy aim.

Soon nothing is safe in Forest Lawn-not even its dead-and these four unlikely friends are set on a collision course with ghouls for whom nothing is sacred.

The Phantom of Forest Lawn will keep you guessing until its final and unforgettable twist in this eternal story of mystery, romance, and a bit of humor that is "in a league of its own."

Autorenporträt

Award-winning author Robert Brighton is an authority on the Gilded Age, and a great believer that the Victorian era was anything but stuffy. In his Avenging Angel Detective Agency Mysteries, Brighton exposes the turbulence of the era - its passions, dreams, and disasters - against a backdrop of careful research on the places, sights, sounds, and smells of the time.

When he is not walking the streets in the footsteps of the Avenging Angels, sniffing out unsolved mysteries, Brighton is an adventurer. He has traveled in more than 50 countries around the world, personally throwing himself into every situation his characters will face - from underground ruins to opium dens - and (so far) living to tell about it.

A graduate of the Sorbonne, Paris, Brighton is an avid student of early 20th Century history and literature, an ardent and relentless investigator, and an admirer of Emily Dickinson and Jim Morrison. He lives in Virginia with his wife and their two cats.
