Mareena got this book for me because she knew how much I had enjoyed True Crime, which is also by Andrew Klavan. I had some trouble following the plot and must say honestly that I'm still not entirely sure about certain parts of the story. The smitten Richard follows Sophia through the labyrinth of her family's madness and their involvement in Nazi art thefts, down a trail formed by ghost stories more chilling then any that Richard could create for his movies.This book was very good in parts, but I have to say that it was not one of my favorite books. When Richard is first introduced to beautiful heiress Sophia Endering, he finds himself helplessly in love with her.But Sophia is as dangerous to herself as she is for those who love her - for she has an almost unstoppable death wish. Her adult series include Servants of Fate and Reliquary. The owner and editor is herself a curiosity and opens up a whole new world to Richard - a world of strange but true hauntings, ghost hunts and spirit worship.

The Servants of Fate sequence beginning with Marked ( 2015) again sets genres against each other in this case, the young protagonist, who lives in a devastated Near Future Boston after an Ecological collapse, moonlights as a guide to the newly dead, ferrying them to the underworld.

The Of Metal and Wishes sequence beginning with Of Metal and Wishes ( 2014) achieves some Equipoisal frisson by emplacing a ghost story in an Alternate World Asia as a savage War threatens but who has more recently published works of sf interest.
