The Ritual

About the Book

Phoenix, Paul Rice’s spirit sidekick, is helping Paul check out the Fulbright estate for any haunting evidence. Finding none, Paul leaves, but Phoenix stays and wanders outside the house to the estate grounds where she comes across the spirit of a young, nine-year-old girl, who isn’t sure of her name or what happened to her or why she’s there on the estate. After talking to her, Phoenix suspects that something bad has happened to the girl but doesn’t know what, and the girl doesn’t remember anything. So Phoenix takes her to Paul and asks him to help her find out what happened to the girl. Paul starts digging and soon finds that other young girls, much like the one Phoenix found, have encountered the same circumstances – they all have suddenly disappeared from their normal lives without a trace of what happened to them.
