The Ice Cradle
Sleepy Block Island seems just the place for ghost whisperer Anza
O’Malley to find some much-needed peace and quiet. But with troubled
spirits dead set on making their voices heard, rest is in short supply!
February 1907, Block Island. Residents of this tiny Rhode Island community
awaken to a scene of tragedy: During a midnight blizzard, a New
York – bound steamer carrying 157 passengers has been destroyed at sea.
Volunteers rush to the beach to organize a search-and-rescue effort — but
for most of the passengers, hope is already lost.
A century
later, residents of the island are busy preparing for the summer season
and debating the merits of a proposed wind farm near the beach. No one
expects that those long-forgotten passengers may have something to say
about the project, but the restless spirits are furious that their final resting place may be disturbed — and turn to Anza to help them protect
it. If spirit-world preservationists aren’t enough, Anza also has to
face the uncomfortable possibility that her five-year-old son, Henry,
has inherited her gift. And then there’s that handsome fisherman whose
charms are proving difficult to ignore.
What began as a
simple island sojourn turns into a week of chills, thrills, and ghostly
intrigue in this gripping second novel in the Ghost Files series.
