To Kill a Ghost

Inspired by high-concept thrillers such as The Bourne Identity, as well as classics of mistaken identity such as Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr Ripley, To Kill A Ghost is a novel about organized crime, inter-generational trauma, and twisted loyalties. What if you aren’t who you think you are? And what if your enemies know more about you than you know about yourself? When Erik’s grandfather is murdered on the front steps of his home, Erik is forced to put medical school on hold and deal with his grieving family. When the case runs cold and things don’t seem to add up Erik finds himself leading his own investigation into the grisly murder. As Erik becomes embroiled in escalating acts of violence, a message from beyond the grave activates his hidden skills; a set of skills carefully planted in him by his grandfather Victor. By the time Erik realizes what is happening, he is involved in drug-dealing, kidnapping, and organized crime. Unexplained murders seem to follow him, but the deepest secret is still to come. Can Erik face the truth about Victor’s past and how it affects his own future?
