The Book of Illumination

Anza O'Malley, a single mom and freelance bookbinder, lives a happy, busy life with her five year-old son, Henry. But there is more to Anza than meets the eye: she can see and speak with ghosts! When a priceless illuminated manuscript is stolen from the Boston Athenaeum, Anza can neither look nor walk away. With an unlikely trio of ghosts by her side - a charming butler and two medieval monks - she leads us on an urgent journey through Boston's winding, cobbled streets to uncover a trail of deceit, danger, and ghoulish intrigue.

The Ghost Files is a collaboration between Maureen and Mary Ann Winkowski, the inspiration for the CBS series, The Ghost Whisperer.
