My review -
Frank
Wilson makes his living finding and sourcing items, usually old and rare, for
clients. His friend John Donovan works with him, and they are approached by a
man who wants them to find something for him. His mother’s soul, which he
believes someone has stolen. Initially they refuse – it’s too weird. Eventually
they go to the run-down town of Hemlock Mill where the lady in question is in a
facility where she suffers from Lock-in syndrome. The town is on its last legs
and Frank and John meet the doctor and the reverend, both involved with the
hospice.
This
is a great modern-day horror story. The situation, in a ghost town, where the
few authority figures are uneasy with one another, builds as we find out more
about what is going on. Wilson begins to feel ill with a presumed heart
complaint and this gets worse when he’s in the hospice. The reverend and his
associates are not what they seem. I really enjoyed this story and it feels
horribly real. Another great book from a really good writer.
