The Ghost Illusion

In a twisty, page-turning thriller with a touch of horror, New York Times bestselling author Kat Martin draws from the real history of England’s Victoria Hall Disaster of 1883 – when nearly 200 children were crushed to death at a magic show – as an American psychologist tests the line between life and death, reality and perception, after inheriting an old house in Suderland, England.

If you need help, we are here for you.

Eve St. Clair desperately needs help sorting reality from her fearful imaginings when ghostly voices seem to haunt the Victorian house in Sunderland, England, that she inherited from her uncle. Online research leads to a group that claims to offer just the aid she’s seeking. But can Ransom King’s hand-picked team of investigators truly banish Eve’s night terrors?

Since the deaths of his wife and daughter, Seattle billionaire Ransom King has devoted himself to researching parapsychology and debunking the frauds who prey upon the bereaved. But Eve is a psychologist herself, clearly sane, and her sincerity is palpable. King senses a very real danger stalking the beautiful divorcée. As his interest in her case turns deeply personal, he will move heaven and earth to uncover the truth—no matter how shocking—and save the woman he loves.
