Shane Turnbull is a senior fund manager at the investment bank, Seabank & Turnbull in Mayfair, London. High up in the firm after working for twenty years, Shane is somewhat egotistical in his dealings with friends and co-workers alike. He seems to have it all; an outstanding work ethic, lots of money in the bank and, if you asked him, a wonderful life.
Shane receives an odd phone call from an unknown source telling him to appear at the Seaview Hotel at 12:45 PM and wait there in his car until the caller meets him. Shane, against his better judgement, goes to the address and waits impatiently for something to happen. Unfortunately, something does. He observes his wife, Sarah, coming out of the hotel hand in hand with her boss and looking very happy. Shane is extremely surprised and takes digital pictures of the couple. This guy is certainly prepared for anything. When he arrives home that evening he confronts his wife and she tells him, "You bore me to tears." This is not the answer that Shane expects and they get into a fight. Sarah falls, landing on her back and hitting her head. Sadly, Sarah is dead and now Shane has to figure out how he'll explain this. Instead of calling the authorities and explaining this was an accident, Shane starts a series of events that make your head spin.
He is so self-absorbed that he keeps getting into more and more situations that he can't handle. His first mistake could be considered an accident but, covering that up he gets into more trouble and more bodies pile up in his wake. Shane can't imagine losing his life style and going to prison because his wife made the mistake of not caring enough for him. He becomes the hunted animal. Hunted by ghosts and real people that are sure that he has done some dirty deeds. He will continue to turn his own life into a bad dream that he cannot seem to shake.
This tale begins so fast and furious that you want to keep reading. This man's one sad moment turns into a rash of bad decisions that will be with him forever. A good book to curl up with if you are into mystery, suspense and also a little of good, old fashioned ghost stories
