But the ghosts have not come to haunt the living. They are fleeing something far more sinister.</p><p>Lake Superior is a vast, surreal inland sea. Its clear depths are scattered with broken ships and pallid bodies preserved in frigid water. Along its shore lie ghost towns, the crumbling opulence of lumber barons and mining tycoons, and garish Native casinos.</p><p>Adam Knowles, a young psychologist working in Indiana, left Sault Sainte Marie years before after his Ojibwe wife was lost to Superior's hungry waters. Was her drowning an accident? Unable to find answers, Adam had fled town, but promised his coworker Ron he would come back if ever needed. Now Ron calls Adam back, at first not revealing the extent of his needs caused by the ghostly sightings.</p><p>By returning, Adam is forced to face his grief again. He sets up a temporary home in a sprawling B&B operated by Maggie, an elderly Scottish innkeeper. Maggie has an innate spiritual influence upon people, but she is opposed by the loathsome Native healer, James Graves, who seems to have come to town to stir up trouble--and maybe Lake Superior itself. As Maggie, Ron, and Adam come to realize Graves is attempting to master the forces of ancient lore and causing the lake's strange disturbances, they are joined by Gracie Bird, an enigmatic young Native woman, who knows too well Graves' nefarious intentions.</p><p>In Dead of November, readers will find themselves embroiled in a suspenseful tale of a power-hungry medicine man, ancient Native legends, and the healing that comes with forgiveness.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>Dead of November </em>revives Lovecraft's tradition of the thinking man's thriller and the book's strong character-driven and emotional core makes it an appealing read for readers of all stripes.
