    About this ebook

    What should be a simple job for an experienced journalist, helping a retired film actress write her autobiography, quickly becomes a Ghost Story, a Mystery and a study in ambition. An unravelling of threads from Egypt to the Balkans and beyond. A sequel to 'Four Ghost Stories, 'Four More Ghost Stories' and 'The Consul from Tunis', all available for free download.

    Nicholas Foster

    I have published ten small books of ghost stories on Smashwords; 'Four Ghost Stories' (The Rustling of Silk, The Comrades, Joining the Dance, Ghosts in the Machine), 'Four More Ghost Stories' (Mr Westgrove, The Ghosts Within, A Sound of Singing, The Final Page), 'The Consul from Tunis', 'The Ghostwriter', 'The Ragged Girl', 'Close to the Wall', 'The Hand of Justice', 'Stavrakis', 'On the Bridge' and 'The Ice House'. Many of the stories draw on places where I've lived and worked. All the characters are fictitious, even the ghosts, except for those who have walked out of the pages of History. All my books are available for free download on Smashwords. A collected print version, 'The Consul from Tunis: and other ghost stories' is available as a paperback from Amazon.
