Add to basketImagine an FBI Agent who can walk through walls, read human auras, comprehend and speak all languages, and even communicate telepathically with animals. This is the premise of my novel "The Ghost Vol 1 - Genesis," the first in a series featuring a character inhabiting two dimensions.
Meet Nicholas Lee, an FBI Special Agent who becomes "The Ghost" when drug cartel assassins bomb his home, killing his wife and daughter and propelling him to a parallel dimension. Confused, bewildered, staggering under this incomprehensible loss, he finds himself floating in a strange world, ". . . aware that this was not a 'place' per se. He was on a path about the width of railroad tracks, and rather than sky or trees on either side, strings of incandescent lights streamed past him. They wrapped around him as if measuring or surveilling him, then broke away, flew out, and then returned. These sequences of illumination whooshed as they passed, the sound diminishing as they retreated."
Nick discovers he can migrate between this place and the physical world, a power that gives him a form of invisibility, not to mention other fantastic capabilities. Merging these new abilities with his career as an FBI agent provides intriguing crime-solving scenarios.
This first volume in the series follows Nick as he struggles to cope with the deaths of his wife and daughter while coming to grips with the parallel realm that draws him in. The Director of the FBI Paranormal Research Section, Leviticus Nighthawk, guides Nick through a process designed to diminish his grief and help him adapt to the strange powers imbued upon him by the other place. During this emotional therapy, Nick encounters a cast of quirky paranormal students, and faces a real test of his skills when confronting a team of radical right-wing extremists planning to commit mass murder.
Throughout his evolution, he is also obsessed with finding and punishing those who murdered his family, and in this first volume, he confronts one of the killers with surprising results.
This book is a thriller/fantasy hybrid, with a character with the mystical powers of a Harry Potter and the street chops of Harry Bosch. It combines elements of fantasy with traditional crime-solving mysteries.
