First there was the car accident that claimed his beloved wife. Then came the grueling months of recuperation from his injuries. Now his constant companions are ghosts seeking worldly release, and his friends and neighbors are under assault from an evil entity.
The Ghost Man is set in eastern Ontario, Canada, and is the story of Simon Guthrie, a chef de cuisine and the owner of a popular restaurant that bears his name. His life changes forever in a car accident that kills his wife and leaves him with a serious head injury. While recuperating in the hospital, he tries to make sense of a near-death experience that involves an encounter with a malevolent presence he cannot identify. Once he is discharged, he hopes to get on with his life, only to discover that he has become a beacon for ghosts still trapped in this world. The novel is structured on eight days in the present in which all events come to a head, culminating in his showdown with the malevolent force that is controlling his destiny and that of his friends and neighbors.
