The Spiritualist: : A Novel

Sometimes truth is the greatest illusion of all.

In a cold January morning in 1856, Evelyn Athertonâ€™s husband is found murdered after attending an exclusive sÃ©ance. Having â€œmarried upâ€ into New York society, Evie herself is the immediate suspect. Ostracized and vulnerable, she knows that to clear her name she must retrace her husbandâ€™s last steps. And so, joining forces with her husbandâ€™s best friendâ€“and the only Manhattan lawyer who will accept her caseâ€“Evie dives into the mysterious underworld of the occult.

Before long, the trail brings them to a charismatic medium, Michel Jourdain. Evieâ€™s instincts tell her the smooth-talking Jourdain is a charlatanâ€“and her only hope for exoneration. But getting close to Jourdain means embracing a seductive and hypnotic world where clues to murder come through the voices of the dead.

Caught in a perilous game in which she is equal player and pawn, predator and victim, Evie finds there is no one to trust, perhaps not even herself. As her powerful in-laws build a case against her, and with time running out, Evie must face the real ghosts of her past if she is to have any hope of avoiding the hangman.
