A novel of the supernatural, The Hanged Man and the Fortune Teller is a testament to the longing that comes over us in our lonely moments, when we shiver and feel the presence of someone near us in the dark. A dead man—nameless, all but formless, not quite here but not unable to move on—fights his way back to who he was. What happened to him? And what happened to the love of his life? His memories retreat like the tide, tantalizingly close but always receding. This nameless ghost is harassed in the right direction by a fellow spirit, one of few that remain—a circus fortune teller tethered to him by a tragic history of her own.

Desperate for the job, the team accepts and begins to investigate the seaside town of Lyme Regis, where elderly victims are dying.The same mysterious clue links the horrendous deaths: the victims all see a double of themselves before dying. The teams wonder if they are dealing with a rogue doppelgänger, one that isn't content just predicting deaths, but carrying them out as well. The victims' connection to an ancient grave site leads to speculation that they may have disturbed a spirit more powerful than the two agencies can handle.One thing is certain, the won't stop unless Kester and the others can overcome their rivalry and stop this deadly...
