PICTURE THE DEAD
Book ID/图书代码： 12311010B35947
English Summary/英文概要： A ghost will find his way home.
Jennie Lovell’s life is the very picture of love and loss. First she is orphaned and forced to live at the mercy of her stingy, indifferent relatives. Then her fiancé falls on the battlefield, leaving her heartbroken and alone. Jennie struggles to pick up the pieces of her shattered life, but is haunted by a mysterious figure that refuses to let her bury the past.
When Jennie forms an unlikely alliance with a spirit photographer, she begins to uncover secrets about the man she thought she loved. With her sanity on edge and her life in the balance, can Jennie expose the chilling truth before someone-or something-stops her?
Against the brutal, vivid backdrop of the American Civil War, Adele Griffin and Lisa Brown have created a spellbinding mystery where the living cannot always be trusted and death is not always the end.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在這裡，生者不一定永遠值得信賴，而死亡並非是生命的終結。
鬼魂總會找到回家的路。
珍妮拉弗爾(Jennie Lovell)的生活像是一張愛和遺失的圖畫。
她原本是孤兒，被迫與同情她的既吝嗇又冷漠的親戚同住；然後，她的未婚夫在戰場上喪生了，這令她傷心欲絕。
珍妮試著在不堪的生活中拾取殘破的片斷，但接連的神祕鬧鬼事件，使她無法埋葬過去。
漸漸地，她開始發現自己以為自己深愛的人的秘密…。在她的理智與情感之間擺盪之際，她能在某人阻止他之前發現可怕的真相嗎？
故事背景設在美國南北戰爭，相較於殘酷而血淋淋的戰爭場警，作者Adele Griffin and Lisa Brown創造了一個引人入勝的神秘之處--在這裡，生者不一定永遠值得信賴，而死亡並非是生命的終結。(SL)

Blurb:
“Lisa Brown’s fanciful daguerreotype reconstructions accompany the spookily ethereal story, cunningly providing clues to the puzzle… Readers are introduced to such historical riches as the lifestyle of Boston Brahmins, the wiles of spiritualist photography and the awful reality of Andersonville prison.”---Kirkus Spring/Summer Supplement
