The Clearing

The Larua Group.

They are fakes, phonies, frauds. Ghost hunters that clear both ‘ghosts’ and their clients’ pocketbooks.

Saving up for her Master’s degree in psychology, Beck Rollins is only in the group for the easy income it brings her. That, and the fact that her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Ledger, runs it. Beck’s younger and more empathetic sister, Kinsley, left the group years ago, not able to handle the guilt that comes with scamming innocent people.

When the group is contacted by a potential client willing to pay handsomely for their trademark service, a Clearing, Beck begs her sister to rejoin the group. To Kinsley’s moral dismay, she agrees, willing to do anything to help her big sister.

The group travels to Mull House, a Victorian mansion in Mulgrave, Nova Scotia, prepared for their largest con yet, but things go awry. When strange things begin to happen and bodies begin to pile up, it becomes painfully clear that someone - or something - wants the group to suffer.

Alternating between the perspectives of the morally grey Beck and the naive Kinsley, this psychological suspense thriller will leave readers feeling haunted until the final page.

Praise for Jordan Murray's debut suspense thriller, I Did It For You

"A must read for thriller fans! I Did It For You is told in jarring, switching perspectives in scattered chronology, making the reader always question what they think they know and masterfully creating the feeling of walking on uneven ground." - Elodie Iver, award-winning author of The Violet Theory

"This book was not what I had expected, it was better. The whole concept of it is so interesting and creepy... I can’t stop thinking about the plot twist. I don’t think I’ve read a book with a better twist than this one as I didn’t see it coming at all." - Goodreads reviewer

"I was literally on the edge of my seat the whole time reading, sometimes yelling at the characters for what I just had read!" - Goodreads reviewer
