When his grandfather, a former policeman, is hospitalised after suffering a stroke, recently-widowed journalist Tom Maitland returns to his home city to offer support to his mother, despite their strained relationship. He ends up staying at his grandfather’s now-empty cottage, where he becomes intrigued by a disturbing murder case the old man once investigated and failed to solve. And the more Tom looks into the case, the more unsettled he becomes, as events start to take a decidedly supernatural turn …
‘Small Ghosts is a compelling novella that tackles one of society’s greatest fears in a refreshing and original way. Lewis gives us a story that spans more than the bounds of such a short form should allow, with characters that convince and intrigue and a plot that refuses to take you where you might expect. Engaging, entertaining, and expertly told.’ – Ray Cluley
‘Small Ghosts is a dark surprise. A story of misgiven detection and dreadful revelations, elegantly crafted against a background of supernatural dread.’ – Paul Meloy
