The year is 2003. Suddenly and inexplicably, the President if the United States has lapsed into a coma. His Vice President, an unpredictable man with a very definite belief in the supernatural, has dispatched his press secretary, William Cochrane, on a mission that will challenge everything Cochrane has ever believed. It is a journey that will take the veteran journalist from hidden Secret Service files to a New England psychic who holds the key to a horrifying 30-year-old crime.
Noel Hynd is the only horror writer I read on a regular basis. Rage of Spirits mixes a thirty year old mystery with a political crisis and the supernatural. In the year 2003, the President of the United States is stricken by a mysterious ailment, rendering him unable to carry out his duties. The Vice President wants to invoke the Twenty-Fifth Amendment and assume the Presidency, but he also has other concerns. Convinced that some outside force is manipulating the health of the President, he sends his press attache, Bill Cochrane, in search of answers. And the answers Cochrane finds lead to even more mysteries and inexplicable occurrences. The reason I enjoy Noel Hynd's novels is that he blends the ingredients of a good thriller with a ghost story, and this combination is successful once again in Rage of Spirits. While the book is suspenseful and has some shocking plot twists, it also has an eerie tone throughout the story. Hynd makes these elements gel and creates another masterful tale.
