Hazardous Spirits

Edinburgh, 1923.

Evelyn Hazard is a young Scottish woman living a comfortable and unremarkable middle-class life until her quiet existence is shattered when her staid, reliable husband Robert suddenly announces that he can communicate with the dead.

As the couple are pulled into the spiritualist movement that emerged following the mass deaths caused by the First World War and the Spanish Flu, dark secrets from Evelyn's past threaten to surface.

Faced with the prospect of losing all that is dear to her, Evelyn finds herself asking: is the man she loves a fraud, a madman or - most frighteningly - is he telling the truth?

A gothic literary mystery, written in sparkling prose, Hazardous Spirits evokes the spirit of 1920s Edinburgh, in all its complexity and vibrancy.
