The Ghost Walk
Karen Herbert
Did anyone know Dr Gabriel Beaufort better than Ruby Rose Gillespie? They were friends at high school. They are secret lovers now. And because he is also the lung-transplant surgeon who saved her life, Ruby will forever be in his debt.
But then the body of Dr Beaufort is found in the wetlands next to the hospital, on the same day as cystic fibrosis sufferer Ruby is readmitted with a sudden fever.
As the crime scene investigation begins beneath her hospital window, Ruby starts to gather her own clues about her lover’s last movements. But with each new discovery, she is haunted by the question of whether she really knew Gabriel Beaufort at all.
‘In a literary world not short on crime novels, Karen Herbert’s The Ghost Walk is a standout.’
‘[R]ichly layered with pertinent social critique and is always utterly believable – no doubt thanks to Herbert’s own experience as a public sector investigator.’
‘The suspenseful plot keeps you quickly turning the pages. Lovers of crime and mystery will enjoy this excellent book.’
