Review:
The Washington Post--
"The title of this suggests a ghost story, and the book is, to be sure, that. But it's a love story and a war story, too. The wonderful thing is that we can't separate the three into distinct threads; the plot consists of their coincidence."-- Carolyn Banks, author of Groomed for Death
Publishers Weekly-
This is an excellent contemporary novel about the memory of war and the heartbreaking loss of a loved one, and such uncommon disturbances as the appearance of menacing specters from the great beyond...The clove-scented ghost who passes through locked doors will give even skeptical readers a chill up the spine
A Literary Guild Selection-
Caught between her lover in the present and a ghost lover from the past, Suzanna senses the other-worldly evil aboard the Santa Cruz--and knows that only she can stop it. A spellbinding thriller that is both a hypnotic love story and a supernatural tale of terror.
Best Sellers Monthly-
This book is a gem of a spooky thriller...with explicit sexual scenes, but equally well laced with a cleverly executed world of ghostly spirits...the impossible story becomes believable, because of the inclusion of so many persons, places, and event during and after World War II, all correctly named and noted.-- Alicia Dulac,
Variety-
Setlowe manages to juxtapose these otherworldly visitors with his story of San Francisco and environs, TV, the modern Navy, Vietnam and a few X-rated sex scenes and somehow make it all come out convincingly--and scarily!-- Radd
