The Joining by Frank Talaber

The Joining by Canadian author Frank Talaber is a gripping supernatural mystery and paranormal detective novel set in Victoria, British Columbia.

Welcome to Victoria, one of North America's most famously haunted cities, where Detective Carol Ainsworth begins her first day undercover at the historic Fairmont Empress Hotel.

Prepared to deal with two Italian families arriving for a wedding intended to unite them, Carol doesn't expect to encounter ghosts, ancient curses, a mysterious FBI agent, disappearing young boys, and a psychic woman who insists she was invited.

As strange events unfold throughout Victoria, Carol finds herself drawn into a dangerous world of supernatural mysteries, haunted locations, spirits, crime, and unexplained disappearances. Her first undercover assignment becomes far more challenging than she could ever have imagined.

From mysterious events beneath the city to supernatural forces operating beyond ordinary understanding, Carol must follow the clues and uncover the truth before more lives are affected.

Her one saving grace is the famous Empress High Tea, introduced to her by Agnes—and the fabulous scones that are, quite literally, to die for.
