Book Synopsis

Strange Ghosts

Old West spirits haunt Ghostal Shores, a very special coastal resort north of the San Francisco Bay. Ethereal bellmen, bartenders and hookers cater to and mingle with wealthy men, beautiful women and eccentric psychics from all over the world.

Who Murdered Peter MacGuire?

The selfish and dragon-tempered co-founder? The greedy manager interested in making the resort a timeshare: Mac's lovely but bitter illegitimate daughter: His former lover, the voluptuous manager of international marketing? The flirtatious and secretive in-house physician? The overzealous psychic covetous of Mac's ghostly liaison duties? Or could the murderer have been one already dead-one of the newly arrived outlaw ghosts?

A Romantic Triangle

When Mac's beautiful lawyer guides his handsome heir through the mysteries of the haunted resort sparks fly between Angela and Blasing. The fire even ignites the interest of an alluring green-eyed ghost wanting Blasing's body and a dark, ethereal stranger who threatens them all.

Malicious Spirits

A new breed of spirit has driven out the friendly resident ghosts. Unsavory rogues, vicious outlaws and ruthless gunslingers now plague the guests. What is the secret of Ghostal Shores and the past that haunts them all? Come investigate with Angela and Blasing. Come. . . California Ghosting

Ding H. Biano

Take a luxury resort, add a little bit of romance, a murder, some human suspects, a bunch of ghosts and you have the makings of California Ghosting. Never having read anything by author William Hill, it was this combination that drew me to his latest novel. I found his blending of all these facets created a storyline that would keep you in suspense up until the very end.
.....Hill's characters have plenty of depth, personality and a quality of realism that makes it easy to visualize each one, including the ghosts.
....Hill writes to every detail so the reader is never left guessing about where they are in the story. He uses plenty of voice in his descriptions, so the reader feels the characters pain, sorrow and even terror.
