When Peter Duvett accepts a position as an assistant to the elusive portraitist Vienna Linn, his life is forever changed as he follows him on a macabre trek across Canada photographing grisly accidents for a private collector, a journey that leads to his employer's wife, who introduces him to the dark world of "spirit pictures"--photographs in which the faces of the long-dead mysteriously appear along with other horrifying images.

Review:

'Howard Norman's The Haunting of L. is his bet work yet, a novel of romantic suspense which grips our attention and touches our hearts. Through Mr. Norman's extraordinary gift of listening to the past, these voices speak again, photographs light up and move, lives driven by spiritual as much as by earthly passions are recovered and redeemed' Thomas Pynchon
