Nothing pulls people together or brings out the best in them like tragedy, and while 9/11 was a day that tested the humanity of the people of New York, it was not the first such disaster they had endured. The sinking of the General Slocum Steamship in 1904 was another such tragedy culminating in the loss of thousands of innocent lives. But from disaster comes the strength of human spirit, and in the case of this novel that spirit is literal as the protagonist, Mallory, is just that. J.G. Sandom uses the historical backdrop to tell a unique tale of the supernatural and shows that love never truly dies. As we follow Mallory's efforts to uncover the truth what led to the sinking of the General Slocum Steamship we are drawn into a tale of love that defies time and death. The story may defy time, but the novel is worth the time to read.
