Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The country road stretched ahead, deserted. A single car, an MG-TD two-seater, was creeping along with its lights off and its top down. The driver looked intently at every tree and contour. The few houses were dark and silent, for it was long past midnight.

#2 He stood on the bridge and looked at the house. It was large and white and spacious, exactly like he remembered it. He wondered what it would be like to live there. He did not go any farther.

#3 He thought of the house he had known as a child, and the people who had lived there. He thought of his father, who had been the permanent mayor of his town.

#4 The author’s father, a ghost watcher, was a deep influence on him. He had always wanted to go to Oxford, and when in the end he went up, it seemed both right and inevitable.
