Publisher Description
In Jaime Lee Moyer's A Barricade in Hell, Delia Martin has been gifted (or some would say cursed) with the ability to peer across to the other side. Since childhood, her constant companions have been ghosts. She used her powers and the help of those ghosts to defeat a twisted serial killer terrorizing her beloved San Francisco. Now it's 1917—the threshold of a modern age—and Delia lives a peaceful life with Police Captain Gabe Ryan.
That peace shatters when a strange young girl starts haunting their lives and threatens Gabe. Delia tries to discover what this ghost wants as she becomes entangled in the mystery surrounding a charismatic evangelist who preaches pacifism and an end to war. But as young people begin to disappear, and audiences display a loyalty and fervor not attributable to simple persuasion, that message of peace reveals a hidden dark side.
As Delia discovers the truth, she faces a choice—take a terrible risk to save her city, or chance losing everything?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Moyer's ghost-busting sleuths of San Francisco (introduced in Delia's Shadow) are back in fine form. Madam Isadora Bobet and her apprentice, Delia Ryan, are always surrounded by the shadows of the dead. Most of these shades are quickly sent on their way, but when the ghost of a persistent little girl invades Delia's dreams, she knows that mystery is afoot. Is it a coincidence that her husband, Capt. Gabe Ryan of the SFPD, happens to be working on a murder case that is likely part of a series of ghastly slayings? How do the deaths and ghosts connect to Miss Effie Fontaine, an evangelist for peace who recently arrived in San Francisco? It's going to take courage, quick thinking, and stout hearts, for Delia and her team to solve the tangled mess of clues in front of them. Moyer has definitely upped her game.
Customer Reviews
Delia's Shadow
This book keeps you on the edge of your seat. She uses a lot of details that make you feel like you're there and part of the plot. I particularly liked how she kept the characters current, so the reader didn't forget who they were. I enjoyed this writer's book a lot and look forward to her next one.
