520    "St. Louis in 1880 is full of ghosts, and Jacob Tracy can 
       see them all. Ever since he nearly died on the battlefield
       at Antietam, Trace has been haunted by the country's 
       restless dead. The curse cost him his family, his calling 
       to the church, and damn near his sanity. He stays out of 
       ghost-populated areas as much as possible these days, 
       guiding wagon trains West from St. Louis, with his 
       pragmatic and skeptical partner, Boz. During the spring 
       work lull, Trace gets an unusual job offer. Miss 
       Fairweather, a wealthy English bluestocking, needs someone
       to retrieve a dead friend's legacy from a nearby town, and
       she specifically wants Trace to do it. However, the errand
       proves to be far more sinister than advertised. When 
       confronted, Miss Fairweather admits to knowing about 
       Trace's curse, and suggests she might help him learn to 
       control it--in exchange for a few more odd jobs. Trace has
       no interest in being her pet psychic, but he's been 
       looking twenty years for a way to control his power, and 
       Miss Fairweather's knowledge of the spirit world is too 
       valuable to ignore. As she steers him into one macabre 
       situation after another, his powers flourish, and Trace 
       begins to realize some good might be done with this curse 
       of his. But Miss Fairweather is harboring some dark 
       secrets of her own, and her meddling has brought Trace to 
       the attention of something much older and more dangerous 
       than any ghost in this electrifying and inventive debut"--
