Description

Barcelona, 1943. Thirty-two-year-old Laia has it all — a job on a popular radio advice programme, a devoted husband, and a baby on the way. But when her husband goes missing while a vicious killer is terrorising the city, Laia's world is shattered. Desperate, she turns to Maurice, a detective.

When he hypnotises her, it is revealed that there may be more to this unassuming housewife and kindly advice columnist than meets the eye. Ghostwriter is both a pitch black comedy and a mesmerising mystery. Rendered in a clean-line chiaroscuro style and masterfully paced, Ghostwriter takes the reader on a wild ride full of twists and turns right through to its thrilling conclusion.
