When ghosts talk, she will listen . . .

Ropa dropped out of school to become a ghostalker and she now speaks to Edinburghs dead, carrying messages to the living. A girls gotta earn a living, and it seems harmless enough. Until, that is, the dead whisper that someones bewitching children leaving them husks, empty of joy and life. Its on Ropas patch, so she feels honour bound to investigate. But what she learns will change her world.
Shell dice with death (not part of her life plan . . .) as she calls on Zimbabwean magic and Scottish pragmatism to hunt down clues. For Edinburgh hides a wealth of secrets.
