This is another highly satisfying story from the author of Growing Up In Ghooli, Good Night Elizabeth, Warren, and Tiffany - The Girl On The Beach. Mike Edwards is a successful writer who buys an old French plantation house. It's been badly neglected and that's where his problems begin. He encounters a woman named Adele who once lived in and disappeared from the very same house. The mystery is, she disappeared in 1865 and it is now 2005, so Adele has been presumed dead for 140 years. Mike then has problems concluding his latest story because someone is continually trying to kill him by various methods. It's a race to see who will reach their objective first, and the odds are not in his favour.
