A comically sinister tale of wicked spirits and suburban mediums from the Man Bo
oker Prize-winning author of 'Wolf Hall' and 'Bring Up the Bodies'. Alison Hart,
a medium by trade, tours the dormitory towns of London's orbital ring road with
her flint-hearted sidekick, Colette, passing on messages from beloved dead ance
stors. But behind her plump, smiling persona hides a desperate woman: she knows
the terrors the next life holds but must conceal them from her wide-eyed clients
.
