Beschreibung

'Deliciously dark. Perfect for a winter's night' Barbara Havelocke
London, 1883.
The brutal murder of Rose Parmiter seems, at first glance, to be a random and senseless act. Rose was the beloved cook at Evergreen House, a place of refuge for women and children, a place from which they can start their lives afresh. Proprietor Rebecca Harris is profoundly shocked by the death of her dear friend and alarmed at the mysterious events which begin to unfold shortly afterwards. Could the past be casting a shadow on the present? The malign legacy of the Everley family who called Evergreen home, cannot be ignored.
After two further deaths it becomes clear there is an evil presence infecting their sanctuary, and Rebecca must draw out the poison of the past so the Evergreen residents can finally make peace with the darkness in their lives.

    THE MUCH-AWAITED SEQUEL TO “A GHOST FOR A CLUE” 
    With the help of NASA, a computer glitch, and a ghost, Bram Morrison, a robotics engineer, may have given science a new means to put death on hold. But despite the new landscape he’s opened up, the Great Beyond is still territory with no solid ground for science to stand on. 
    Still helping Torula Jackson, a biologist, realize her dream of studying what happens to consciousness after death, Bram risks his reputation, future, and ambitions by revealing his growing belief in the bizarre. Despite his modifications on the Verdabulary software that has helped ghosts reach out to the living, it will take more than apparitions in 3D glass chambers to convince scientists and doctors that the afterlife exists. When the ensuing research ends up with more questions than answers, trouble brews for all the souls still fighting for a foothold in the afterworld. 
    Can souls really persist indefinitely in crystal storage devices called willdiscs? What about Franco, Bram’s recently deceased friend, can he help provide answers? These and more mysteries unfold in A Ghost in a Bottle, the second book in the IMMORTOLOGY series—a bold blend of hard science fiction and the supernatural.

When a caravan of wanderers passes through the city, the kitten of an orphan (Menes) traveling with the band disappears.

Upon witnessing the result, the local politicians pass a law forbidding the killing of cats.
