But Ned is about to heed another call, the siren song of New Orleans, where the history of countless lost souls seems to rise from the steaming streets--and where, ten years before, he ended a brief, passionate affair with a woman whose memory has haunted him ever since. Here, in a city of spirits, Ned will embrace a dead saint and a living sinner...as a beautiful ghost offers him her desire. And his destiny....
Set amid the sleepless energy and seething passion of New York and New Orleans, "Madeleine's Ghost" is a spellbinding novel of lost love, history, and desire--a work of startling originality that is at once exquisitely written and compulsively readable.

"--Los Angeles Times Book Review" "A fast, can't-put-it-down reading experience...a vibrant gumbo of ghosts and gypsies, lovers and others." "--New Orleans Times-Picayune"
"Readers have waited too long for Robert Girardi's peculiar mesmerizing genius."
--Colin Harrison, author of "Bodies Electric" *.".. a first novel of astonishing accomplishment... Girardi drives his talealong with sensuous prose." "--Publishers Weekly, " starred review
