A ghost story that is also a love story—

The Haunting of Suzanna Blackwell

By Richard Setlowe

• Beautiful Suzanna Blackwell has come home to live with her father, a Navy commander in San Francisco, while she recovers from her divorce. Recently named head of the Pacific Fleet's "ghost ships" anchored in the bay, her father finds that his faded memories of World War II have suddenly come to life.

• Back in 1944, a kamikaze squadron attacked the battle-gray cruiser Santa Cruz. To save his ship, Captain Blackwell sealed off its lower levels, where his men were still alive…trapped. Now, 32 years later, the Santa Cruz is among those "ghost ships," and she is waiting, watching, hungry for revenge, reaching out to murder.

  Caught between her lover in the present and a ghost lover from the past, Suzanna sense the other-worldly evil aboard the Santa Cruz—and knows that only she can stop it.

  A spellbinder thriller that is both a hypnotic love story and a supernatural tale of terror. Explicit sex and violence.
