VANESSA by David Howells

Description: -Humanizing the spirits walking the earth, VANESSA forms an interesting team that takes their talents and passions to reach out to those who suffer and find the key that unlocks each spirit's prison. Ghosts don't say 'boo' here, but can be understood as the products of unfulfilled desires, or rages, in life. The book is set in the near future where interesting speculations on technology can take place without entering the realm of Buck Rogers. Research is obvious in the epochs of the American Civil War, Southern Reconstruction, and WWII, not to mention emergency medicine and paranormal theories. There are numerous characters, subplots, and foretellings that come together for a very exciting climax.
