About the Book

Sometimes death is not the end. From acclaimed author Robert Brighton comes a sweeping saga of mystery, love, and intrigue in "an epic in miniature." This "achingly beautiful story" with compelling clues and buried secrets will prove irresistible to uncover. Smuggler King George Eberly faces a dilemma-his shipments of whiskey, opium, and French photographs are being intercepted somewhere near the sprawling Forest Lawn Cemetery. And neither he nor his most trusted henchmen can devise a solution. Until, that is, young Mary Carkriff arrives from Canada, eager to seek her fortune in the big city. George is immediately drawn to Mary-and to her expertise with codes and ciphers-and the new arrival soon becomes his indispensable First Mate. Meanwhile, heiress Georgia Moffatt and her devoted right-hand man Christian Schamber watch powerlessly as the land that was once the Moffatt Orchards is slowly eaten up, an acre at a time, by progress-and profit. Before long, a much bigger problem confronts both couples, when a band of resurrectionists-men who disinter freshly buried corpses to sell to medical schools-sets up operations in Forest Lawn. And they will stop at nothing, including murder, to achieve their unholy aim. Soon nothing is safe in Forest Lawn-not even its dead-and these four unlikely friends are set on a collision course with ghouls for whom nothing is sacred. The Phantom of Forest Lawn will keep you guessing until its final and unforgettable twist in this eternal story of mystery, romance, and a bit of humor that is "in a league of its own." Get your copy today! Perfect for book clubs and gifts, too.

About the Author :
Robert Brighton, award-winning author of the Avenging Angel Detective Agency(TM) Mysteries, is an authority on the turbulent final years of the Gilded Age, a vibrant, exciting era that is all too often misunderstood as stuffy and sexless. In his novels, Brighton peels away the glittering surface of the turn of the last century-a time both utterly strange and strangely familiar-to reveal the passions, conflicts, and human drama churning just beneath.When not writing novels, Brighton is an adventurer, having traveled to fifty-six countries around the world, and usually on only a few dollars a day. He is a relentless researcher who, before writing any of his historical novels, spent almost four years reading-cover to cover-four major newspapers from 1897-1904. Among his somewhat quixotic career choices, he has been a mule wrangler, a bison rancher, and a vintage automobile restorer.A graduate of the Sorbonne, Brighton is an admirer of Emily Dickinson and Jim Morrison. He is fond of tinkering with anything mechanical, splitting firewood, and observing the weather.He lives in Virginia with his wife and their two British Shorthair cats.
