When the dead call, she listens. . .On a night out in a London bar, our accidental medium Tanz meets Einar, a charismatic and sexy Viking travelling for business. He offers Tanz an irresistible proposition: return to Iceland with him for an all-expenses-paid writing retreat and some no-strings-attached fun.Promised a mix of work, play and maybe a bit of romance, Tanz follows her heart (and the voices in her head) off to Iceland on a whim; but when she arrives, she quickly realises that Einar and his charm might not be all they're cracked up to be.Heartbroken, abandoned and left to the mercy of the long, haunting nights, Tanz finds herself surrounded not just by the rugged beauty of a land steeped in legend but also the mysteries that lurk in its shadows. With only the dead for guidance, Tanz is thrust back into the heart of a chilling cold case, where the echoes of the forgotten and the allure of old magic compel her to listen, to understand and to act. . .

  "It's selling on Amazon and Audible, and I promote my work on Redbubble and Zazzle," said Turpin. 
  "Why am I being paid by them?" said James 
  "I used your details and name to sign up and as a name. I couldn't sell without real details what would people say if I said I was a ghostwriter!" said Turpin. 
  "You lousy identity thief!" grumbled James "Great I'm being haunted by a computer genius from before computers." 
  "Thief I'm paying you!" said Turpin. 
  "I thought Audible needed real voices to be eligible to have your work put on Audible?" said James. 
  "I read the book on to the computer as John Palmer," said Turpin.

  "I did an E V P," Turpin said.

  "So you are haunting Audible now, are you?" James said. 
  "And YouTube, iTunes, and Soundcloud, among other things if you put it like that?" said Turpin exasperated. 
  "What am I supposed to have written!" asked James.
