Synopsis: Only the most passionate and determined love can triumph against the ghosts of the past. The Haunting of Suzanna Blackwell is the story of one such love. It begins with memories that are always present, that possess Suzanna Blackwell – and can destroy her. She has come from studying art in Rome to a navy base just north of San Francisco to reconcile with her father, Captain John Blackwell. Once there, she finds herself drawn into another era by memories of her restless, romantic mother, dead for nearly twenty years, and a World War that raged before she was born. Stunning, divorced, at loose ends, there is something electrifying about Suzanna, a quality that immediately attracts Michael Lowenstein, a television documentary producer, but something that also attracts a less human response from the ghosts, both loving and vengeful, who threaten to posses her. Suzanna is the woman of Michael's fantasies, and she in turn is caught by the shadow of pain in Michael's eyes, one that belies his confident masculine assurance. When the two connect, there isn't a man alive who could ever break their intensely sexual bond. But could the past that haunts each destroy what life has now given them together? The Haunting of Suzanna Blackwell is a novel of romance, sensuality, and terror. It is the story of two people in love being haunted by the spirits of those who were not ready to leave life when life violently left them.
