During the summer, Brighton is famous for its frivolity-the seaside, entertainment, melted ice creams-however, all fun ends in the autumn. As Brighton University opens its gates for another term, Joanna Lawrence finds herself unexpectedly wedged amongst the academic masses. She and Brendan Keane-the famous psychologist-have volunteered their services once again to help two professors who have been working well past retirement.
But all is not so simple.
Between an obsession with a supposed ghost and a heated cricket match, university life proves that not everything is based on books and sound logic. When sightings begin to occur, Lawrence and Keane must search in unusual places, including a boarding house for women, to learn the reason behind the hauntings. Behind the ghost.
And whether or not it is a ghost at all.
