Book excerpt: The Haunting, a Jim Kirkwood mystery: Jim is drawn to Scotland by the lure of the Highlands where he hopes to become the laird of a great estate. Kirkwood soon realizes that forces from this world and beyond are trying to manipulate events. Isolated on an island in the Inner Hebrides that is lost in time, a crumbling castle becomes the setting for Jim's encounter with vengeance from beyond the grave. A lethal game of deception, murder, and an ancient curse cast upon the manor quickly cause events to spin out of control. With the help of a mysterious peasant girl, Jim must unravel a centuries-old riddle in time to free the ghost of a beautiful bride who was murdered on her wedding night and avoid joining a long line of victims who have perished by a sword yielded by her long dead bridegroom.
