The protagonist’s fumbling choices and sometimes wretched attempts to play the part of detective is what makes this novel work best. Not having a bold, tough, savvy protagonist is a fresh take. The narrative is presented from the point of view of an emotionally fragile protagonist, psychotherapist Theo Faber.

But more than one person is out to stop him. Is it possible that the spirit photographer caught a real ghost? When Moody recognizes the woman in the photograph as the daughter of an escaped slave he knew long ago, he is compelled to travel from Boston to the Louisiana bayous to resolve their unfinished business-and perhaps save his soul. Instead of the staged image of the boy he was expecting, the camera has seemingly captured the spirit of a beautiful young woman. ![]() One day, while developing the negative from a sitting to capture the spirit of the young son of an abolitionist senator, Moody is shocked to see a different spectral figure develop before his eyes. Despite the whispers around town that Moody is a fraud of the basest kind, no one has been able to expose him, and word of his gift has spread, earning him money, fame, and a growing list of illustrious clients. He lures grieving widows and mourning mothers into his studio with promises of catching the ghosts of their deceased loved ones with his camera. Photographer Edward Moody runs a booming business capturing the images of the spirits of the departed in his portraits. ![]() ![]() Gutenberg intends to hold the event annually.
