Now for the first time in one big volume, two novels of Dr. Johan Eschbach, a professor at a small northeastern college in New Bruges (there is no New England) and a secret agent for the government of Columbia. His is a world where the nation Columbia combines parts of what we know as the United States and Canada but goes no farther west than Denver. It is an alternate-history timeline shaped by the fact that ghosts are not mere superstition but have a literal physical reality. They also have political implications, in a world where your crimes can haunt you, and the ghosts of your crimes are visible to others. Here are two adventures that bring Johan Eschbach out of his retirement and happy marriage in quiet Vanderbraak Centre and into danger and intrigue involving ghosts in Columbia and in the Mormon nation of Deseret.
