Inspector Jerry Strauss does not believe in ghosts As commander of the Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry detachment for the Ontario Provincial Police, Inspector Jerry Strauss does not believe in ghosts, he deals with facts, not fancies. But he and Sterling House, now a B&B in Ingleside, have a long history, going back to his childhood when the house was a private home in the Lost Village of Wales. As a boy, things weren t quite so black and white, and both the home and the village had an unearthly air that last summer before flooding of the St. Lawrence Seaway caused the house to be moved and the village to disappear forever. Death came to the house then, and now death has returned, nearly fifty years later. Jerry Strauss soon discovers he s connected to both. If she were there, Farran Mackenzie would tell him to listen to the house. Inspector Strauss isn t sure he wants to hear what it has to say. "This is a fascinating, haunting and disturbing aspect of Canada's submerged past, which Maggie Wheeler literally and literarily brings back to the surface of our consciousness." Erika Ritter, CBC Ontario Morning. Maggie Wheeler is author of the acclaimed Lost Villages murder mystery series, which includes A Violent End and The Brother of Sleep.

About the Author:

Born in Simcoe, Ontario, Maggie Wheeler moved with her family several times before settling in Long Sault. Much of her childhood was spent there in the former Hydro Site No. 2, one of two new towns created to accommodate villages relocated by the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project. With her roots now deep in eastern Ontario she still makes her home on the river at Ingleside Seaway Town Site No. 1 in a house that once stood at the Lost Village of Dickinson s Landing. Steeped in the Lost Villages, Maggie continues her journey to explore the emotional and cultural cost of the St. Lawrence Seaway. That is, when she is not melding the mystery genre with her passion for Canadian history.
