Lucy Banks

Kester Lanner, a logically-minded academic type, didn't know what he was in for when he followed his mother's dying request to contact Dr. Ribero and learned he was Kester's father. Kester becomes involved in the family business: catching supernatural ghosts and finds himself in a struggle with a powerful and haunting ghost.

The Case of the Green-Dressed Ghost

Kester and Ribero's team of inept supernatural investigators are back again. But this time, the stakes have been raised. Hrschni, a powerful daemon, together with the rest of the Thelemites, are hellbent on bringing spirits back to the world of the humans...at any cost. Kester needs to gain control of his unique abilities, while coming to terms with the fact that his mother had more secrets than he realized. He must also decide where his allegiances really lie. As the twisted truths keep coming out, he finds it increasingly hard to know who to trust.

The Case of the Twisted Truths

London, 2017. A long-dead ghost--nameless, all but formless, trapped beyond both the living and the afterlife--drifts through time in search of himself. What happened to him? To the love of his life? His memories slip away like the tide, tantalizingly close but always receding. His lost world of steam, family, and horrific tragedy comes to him in flickers and gasps. But decades--the steam age, the war years, the age of counterculture--soon melt and disappear, consumed by a strange, hungry world of electricity and isolation. As more of him slips away each day, this nameless ghost is shepherded by a fellow spirit, his sole companion in our foreign reality--a circus fortune teller tethered to him by a tragic history of her own. Eerie and atmospheric, The Hanged Man and the Fortune Teller unveils a mystery written in the gaps of memory. With insight and daring, Lucy Banks probes the deepest fears of our age on memory, mortality, and what it means to be human.

The Hanged Man and the Fortune Teller

Case of the Secret Spirit-Half

"A thoroughly engaging read for anyone, whether new to the series or not." - Booklist Only a few months have passed since the day Kester Lanner forced an angry ghost through the spirit door, but business prospects for Dr. Ribero's supernatural agency haven't improved. Things are looking grim when the agency lands a contract which they must share with a rival agency headed by Dr Ribero's sworn enemy, Larry Higgins. Desperate for the job, the team accepts and begins to investigate the seaside town of Lyme Regis, where elderly victims are dying. The same mysterious clue links the horrendous deaths: the victims all see a double of themselves before dying. The teams wonder if they are dealing with a rogue doppelgänger, one that isn't content just predicting deaths, but carrying them out as well. The victims' connection to an ancient grave site leads to speculation that they may have disturbed a spirit more powerful than the two agencies can handle. One thing is certain, the won't stop unless Kester and the others can overcome their rivalry and stop this deadly spirit.

The Case of the Deadly Doppelganger

Having just witnessed the lethal consequences uncontrolled spirits can have on the unsuspecting, the agency joins forces with several others to prevent the cult from unleashing chaos and ending the world's fragile protection from dangerous spirits.
