A respected college literature professor and the world's foremost debunker of hauntings, David Caine has money, respect, and a burning desire to solve one of the greatest mysteries of the Twentieth Century. In 1926, John Weir-the man on whom David has modeled his career of skepticism-journeyed to Virginia's famed Alexander House to disprove its reputation for supernatural occurrences. Though Weir was never heard from again, David is certain the culprit was a man of flesh and blood rather than a sinister being from the beyond. When David learns that his old college buddy has taken possession of the Alexander House and wants David to prove it's free of ghosts, David leaps at the opportunity. David plans to solve the mystery of John Weir's death, prove the house isn't haunted, and write a bestselling book about it. But to do so, David must confront his own past. Before he became an eminent professor and author, David was once an undergrad passionately in love with a young woman named Anna. Despite Anna's devotion to him, David broke her heart, and soon after, she took her own life. This summer, David's past will return to haunt him. Though David's career has been built on skepticism, he will soon discover the truth about human evil. And the true meaning of terror.
