The Night Strangers
by Chris Bohjalian
From the
bestselling author of The Double Bind, Skeletons at the Feast, and Secrets of
Eden, comes a riveting and dramatic ghost story.
In a dusty corner
of a basement in a rambling Victorian house in northern New Hampshire, a door
has long been sealed shut with 39 six-inch-long carriage bolts.
The home's new
owners are Chip and Emily Linton and their twin ten-year-old daughters.
Together they hope to rebuild their lives there after Chip, an airline pilot,
has to ditch his 70-seat regional jet in Lake Champlain after double engine
failure. Unlike the Miracle on the Hudson, however, most of the passengers
aboard Flight 1611 die on impact or drown. The body count? Thirty-nine – a
coincidence not lost on Chip when he discovers the number of bolts in that
basement door. Meanwhile, Emily finds herself wondering about the women in this
sparsely populated White Mountain village – self-proclaimed herbalists – and
their interest in her fifth-grade daughters. Are the women mad? Or is it her
husband, in the wake of the tragedy, whose grip on sanity has become desperately
tenuous?
The result is a
poignant and powerful ghost story with all the hallmarks readers have come to
expect from bestselling novelist Chris Bohjalian: a palpable sense of place, an
unerring sense of the demons that drive us, and characters we care about
deeply.
The difference
this time? Some of those characters are dead.
