Philip Trudeau, a once-respected investigative journalist, has stepped on the wrong toes. With his personal life and health deteriorating around him, he is consigned to a suburban newspaper where he writes ‘filler’ local news articles to be slotted in among the real estate advertisements. Sent to cover what appears to be a tragic-yet-routine death at a level crossing, Philip is drawn into a multilayered mystery that includes art theft, political intrigue and business corruption … not to mention murder. Ghostlines is a cleverly-plotted and compelling story that is part thriller and part psychological mystery. ‘Ghostlines is rough-cut, grainy and good … Earthy and exciting, with a bluesy, wistful air.’ — The Australian ‘A thriller with a neat psychological twist.’ — The Herald-Sun ‘Crime fans will enjoy the compelling narrative, succinct writing and the pleasing lack of blood, gore and psychopathic behaviour that mars most contemporary crime stories … FOUR STARS’ — Bookseller and Publisher WINNER Ned Kelly Award for a debut crime novel WINNER Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for an Unpublished Manuscript

DOWNLOAD EBOOK

This book is a groundbreaking attempt to rethink the landscapes of the social world and historical practice by theorising ‘social haunting’: the ways in which the social forms, figures, phantasms and ghosts of the past become present to us time and time again. Examining the relationship between historical practices such as archaeology and archival work in order to think about how the social landscape is reinvented with reference to the ghosts of the past, the author explores the literary and historical status and accounts of the ghost, not for what they might tell us about these figures, but for their significance for our, constantly re-invented, re-vivified, re-ghosted social world. With chapters on haunted houses and castles, slave ghosts, the haunting airs of music, the prehistoric origin of spirits, Marxist spectres, Freudian revenants, and the ghosts in the machine, Ghosts, Landscapes and Social Memory adopts multi-disciplinary methods for understanding the past, the dead and social ghosts and the landscapes they appear in. A sociology of haunting that illustrates how social landscapes have their genesis and perpetuation in haunting and the past, this volume will appeal to sociologists and social theorists with interests in memory, haunting and culture.

Fia loves her job as an electrician aboard a space-faring city vessel. She is skilled at her work, and appreciates not having too much facetime with other humans. She just has one problem: a colleague has taken an interest in her—interest she doesn’t return. When she finally works up the courage to tell him no, he takes offense and reports her to her supervisor for insubordination. Her punishment? Her boss assigns her to repair the conduits in the bowels of the ship, reported to be haunted by a ghostly voice. As Fia nervously delves into the darkest, most unknown corners of the ship she calls home, she wonders just what she will find down there: friend or foe? Or something else entirely? This is a short story set in the Rove City universe, set roughly 150 years prior to book 1, Midnight Wings.
