The Haunting of the Oceania

British secret agent Reese Tretheway is an expert at maneuvering through the shadowy underworld of 19th century Europe. But when he finds his latest assignment - babysitting a wayward Grand Duke of Russia - has landed him in the midst of a supposed haunting on a steamship voyage, he realizes his work with the foreign service has not prepared him for ghostly sightings and phantom music. A beautiful girl in mourning wanders the ship, so like another girl who threw herself overboard on a previous voyage that crew and passengers alike fear the dead are walking. When Reese’s own servant plunges to his death at the sight of her, and strange lights and bizarre objects made of bone start turning up, for the safety of everyone, Reese must prove there is nothing supernatural at work. But danger can come from unexpected places, and on this ocean voyage, a watery grave is calling to the unwary.
