A propos de l'auteur
Daniel Hecht spent 15 years as a classical guitarist and recording artist before turning his attention to writing fiction full-time. Realizing that he couldn't play the guitar anymore due to a medical condition with his hands, Hecht went back to school at the age of 38 and earned a Bachelor of Fine afficher plus Arts degree in fiction. After he graduated, Hecht began working full-time as a college administrator and teaching part-time at a state college. During that time Hecht also began writing his first novel, Skull Session. Set in Westchester, New York, the book took Hecht three years to finish. Next, Hecht began looking for a literary agent. After months of searching and half-a-dozen rejection slips later, Hecht made contact with the Watkins Loomis Agency, who put his book up for auction to the major publishing houses in October of 1996. Viking Penguin was the highest bidder, and since then, Skull Session has been sold to publishers in 10 countries throughout the world. He is also known for the Cree Black series which contains City of Masks (2002), Land of Echoes (2004), and Bones of the Barbary Coast (2006). (Bowker Author Biography) Daniel Hecht spent twenty years as a guitarist, a musical career that included albums on Windham Hill Records, concerts at Carnegie Hall, & international performance tours. He received an MFA in writing from the Iowa Writers' Workshop, where he was awarded the prestigious Teaching/Writing Fellowship. He now writes from his home in Vermont.

City of Masks par Daniel Hecht
Ghost
In this fast-paced novel, Cree is a professional ghost hunter, whose job and mission is to assist clients who are haunted by actual ghosts from their past. Based in Seattle, she is hired by a woman in New Orleans whose life has been turned upside down by ghosts in the family home she wants to return to. As might be expected, the victim's family is fraught with secrets and betrayals, which Cree attempts to uncover. Meanwhile, she is unexpectedly attracted to the therapist treating the victim, but it is unclear just where his loyalties and belief systems lie. The twists and turns of this story are interesting and engaging, and the complexities of Cree's personality will make for an interesting series.… (plus d'informations)
I can't remember the book, but I found it on my list of audiobooks that I listened to years ago.
Parts of this book gave me the creeps. In a good way. Kinda.
