<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Widow. Mother. Actor. Alone. That's how Kit Capriol describes herself to her therapist not long after losing her husband on 9/11. Sixteen years later, with her teenage daughter in a coma following an accident, Kit's life has become almost unrecognizable. Her acting career never took off, and now she scrapes by as a medium, staying just on the right side of the law and holding seances for desperate, wealthy clients. But after she meets an intriguing man at her neighborhood bar, things take a strange turn. Kit's seances, which started out as pure acting, have become something far different. Is she going crazy, or is David somehow gaslighting her? Either way, Kit soon realizes she is dealing with forces well out of her control"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>When it comes to contacting the dead, it's easy to go a step too far</strong></p><p>Every year, as the anniversary of 9/11 inches closer on the calendar, Kit Capriol scans the memorials published in the <em>New York Times</em>. It's a simple thing to look up a name and phone number, to reach out to surviving family members who might still be yearning for connection with their lost loved one... to offer assistance. After her husband went down in the north tower, Kit scraped by as an actress, barely supporting herself and her daughter. But now Zoey is in the hospital, bills are due, and the acting work has dried up. Becoming a medium is almost too easy for someone used to pretending for a living--and desperate clients aren't hard to come by.</p><p>Now, though, something has changed. The seances Kit holds in her apartment are starting to feel unsettlingly real, and the intriguing man she met at a local bar could be more complicated than he seems. As the voices of the dead grow louder in her head and the walls of her apartment close in, Kit realizes that despite her daughter's absence, she hasn't been quite as alone as she thought...</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>The Summoning</em> is a creepy nvoel and quite an unsettling read...it is one of the most unique books I have read this year.</p><br><br><p><em>The Summoning</em> is a suspenseful and gripping novel, one readers can count on to keep them reading into the late hours. -<strong><em>Mystery & Suspense Magazine</em></strong></p><br><br><p>[A] superior thriller...
