Two teenage girls have mysteriously disappeared from the small Scottish Orkney island of Eday. It is as if they have vanished from the face of the earth without trace. The island is in turmoil. Eight years later in Cambridgeshire, seven year old Callum Thompson is trying to cope with his parents’ recent separation. He is acting strangely, constantly talking about his other daddy and his new friend Jeremy, believed by others to be fictional characters in Callum’s mind. Is this a case of a little boy with emotional problems or is this something more sinister? Jack wonders if his son is having some kind of encounter with the spirit world, but Louise is sceptical. After a successful trip to an old stately home in Hampshire, where paranormal activity is caught on camera, Dr Andrew McGregor returns to his parapsychology unit in Cambridge to find himself faced with a new challenge. It doesn't take him long to realise that Callum Thompson's case is far more than a paranormal investigation. What is the link between Callum and Eday? Coincidences, strange happenings, twists and turns leads Andrew McGregor to the answers everyone has been desperately searching for, including what happened to the two missing girls from Eday.
This story is about the paranormal, reincarnation and a mystery. The story is in two different timelines the author intertwined well. In one timeline, a married couple are not only dealing with marital issues, but also dealing with their son's odd behavior that they can not explain. In the other timeline, there is an ongoing mystery. This is the first time I have read a book by this author and will be reading other books written by her. I recommend this book.
