Set in the San Francisco Bay Area, Wraith is a story of revenge, so deep-seated and ruthless, that even death cannot prevent it. The story opens with a late-night attack that leaves Warren Holmes and his children dead, and his wife in the ICU, fighting for her life. Once in the afterlife, Warren finds himself being drawn into a Tunnel of Light, but chooses an alternate path. He decides to return to the world as a ghost, bent on exacting revenge on his killers, and his former business partner, Jordan, who has been having an affair with his wife, and embezzling funds from their firm’s investors. As Warren begins his harrowing journey to right the injustices of his past, he faces unthinkable, heartbreaking repercussions.
“Although this book is fictitious, almost everything in it, from the characters to the settings, stem from real world experience and, like any parable tells us, have real world consequences,” says author Raymond Bolton. An acclaimed author who draws inspiration from history and personal experience, Bolton carefully blends fact and fiction to create unputdownable works full of suspense. A story that both entertains and enlightens, Wraith showcases the gut-wrenching aftermath of taking revenge in a way that will stay with readers long after the last page is turned. “I would hope Wraith will give its readers cause to consider that all their actions, especially hasty ones, especially ones resulting from anger, may have consequences that are beyond their control.”
Bolton’s heart-pounding novel boasts more than just page-turning excitement. The book tackles difficult subjects like inequity, duplicity and the occult with grace and acuity, shedding light on how our actions and their consequences shape our lives and future. These hard-to-swallow themes are complemented by Bolton’s captivating style of writing, which goes a long way in depicting both the characters and the setting in such a way that cuts through the stories we tell ourselves about the world we live in, and calls our attention to the vivid realities hiding just beneath the surface.
Wraith has received positive reviews from world class authors and well-known literary organizations around the world. Kirkus Reviews writes, “This expertly paced novel of gruesome vengeance will provide readers with a sense of unseemly pleasure as they watch it all play out. Behind all the ghostly drama, however, is an intriguing exploration of what it means to become someone—or something—else.”
