Summary: Dave Varine is the host of Ghost Search International, a reality show verifying or debunking sites of supernatural activity. Nouvel Espoir plantation is called the “Most Haunted House in New Orleans. Visitors claim to have seen things but when asked for details, they become very close-mouthed. Now, the Louisiana Historical Society wants David to certify the house, abruptly abandoned in the late 19th century, is really haunted. David and his cameraman, Red Murtrey, will spend two weeks at Nouvel Espoir, observing and recording any supernatural phenomena. It sounds like a run-of-the-mill assignment, almost a vacation, but as soon as the doors are shut and locked, and they’re alone in the old house, everything changes. Skeptic David can’t explain the sights he sees or what he hears. Nor can he rationalize the visions he has of a handsome young man bearing an uncanny resemblance to himself, a young man who calls out to him for help…and it’s best not to be in the gallery with its full-length portraits after dark. Nouvel Espoir is giving up its secrets, hidden since the Marquis Vaurien’s descendants abandoned their home, and Dave and Red are the unwilling recipients of those well-kept skeletons in the Vaurien closet, whether they want to be or not.
