Steven is scared - he's awakened in the middle of the night by a mysterious figure that threatens to kill him. Is it a ghost, or some other evil creature? Steven's determined to figure out what it is and how to stop it. He would normally turn to his father, Roy, who is educating him on how to use "the gift" to deal with ghosts and other threats, but Roy isn't available. Steven turns instead to his "gifted" friends Eliza and Daniel. Daniel's an expert on time, and they all soon discover the true nature of the threat: it comes from the past and it's worse than any of them realized. Strange ghosts and creatures stand between them and the solution. Time is running out as Steven, Roy, Daniel and Eliza dig into the past to learn of half-finished business that is coming back to haunt them all. Ghosts of Our Fathers is a fast-paced horror-thriller where Steven and Roy confront a ghostly history that is determined to take revenge upon their entire family. Ghosts of Our Fathers is the third book in The River series.
