Haunting For Justice

Thirty-eight-year-old Belinda Alexander moves from Seattle, Washington, to a small town in Oregon with her husband, Martin. They move into a very old house with a tragic history. Belinda uses her natural intuition and writer's imagination to delve into the bloody past of the house, first as a hobby, then as almost an obsession. She soon discovers diaries belonging to Martha Erickson, the woman that was supposed to have murdered her husband, Albert, and killed herself in the house forty years earlier. The diaries, along with a strong physic connection to Martha, convince Belinda that Martha is innocent. Belinda's pursuit to prove Martha's innocence leads her through a trail of deceit that spans the time from Martha and Albert's death to the present day. Belinda discovers things that many of those still living would prefer to keep hidden. Following all the leads she turns up, Belinda uncovers webs of lies, and finds herself warned - then threatened - to leave the Erickson matter alone. In spite of all that happens to her, Belinda still searches for the truth that would set Martha free, and may also free others trapped here on earth, all because of the events that happened forty years ago.
