The Ancient Lie

Death did them part. Now he wants her back.

When the ghost of Henry VIII storms the Tower of London demanding his wife, the Vanguard needs help, and only one man has Anne Boleyn's ear: Coby McTavish, retired detective, reluctant duke and lecturer at the Highlands University of Ghostology.

Anne has an errand for him in Paris: find what she signed before Henry ever looked at her. But while Coby chases a forgotten vow across the Channel, a killer who thinks himself a judge stalks Serenity Falls, a priceless painting vanishes from the university vault, and Gracie is left alone with a stranger who wants his story told.

By Friday night, every ghost Henry ever wronged will gather at Hampton Court for a wedding five hundred years too late, and someone will have to tell the world the ancient lie.

The Ancient Lie is Book Three of The Highlands University of Ghostology, a darkly comic Scottish ghost mystery for fans of witty paranormal sleuths, Tudor history and haunted Highland manors.
