~~Moved from GR~~ Ghost of a Chance (Ghost Finders #1) by Simon R. Green Sigh. I've now read at least one book in most of Simon R. Green's major series, and I think I'm going to give up. I find the concepts of his books tantalizing in general, and even though there's nothing I fundamentally disl...

When the elite team is not available to handle a particular gruesome subway incident, the ...
