The Virginia Ghost Murders — Leslie Raymond Sachs

Racy and brilliant, The Virginia Ghost Murders invents a whole new category of mystery, where the spirits of the dead play an eerie and at times terrifying role. The pursuit of crime amidst the occult is the special talent of the unforgettable Amanda Poe, a strange and beautiful detective who is a mystery in her own right.

Ghosts and gunfights, torture and murder, kinky sex and corruption, are all in plenty as The Virginia Ghost Murders deftly moves back in time between serial killings in present-day Virginia, and the crimes of the slave-owning South before the Civil War.

Scary, instructive, and titillating, The Virginia Ghost Murders merges crime with both history and the world beyond, even taking us to a personal meeting with the famous Edgar Allan Poe himself.
