Ian is seventeen years old when he makes an extraordinary discovery: he can see ghosts! Ghosts that burn anything they touch. Through a coincidence he learns that his father, too, could see the mysterious beings of light. Are these ghosts possibly the reason for his father‘s death, or the disappearance of his grandfather more than forty years ago? Together with his best friend Bpm he decides to get to the bottom of this secret. Ian has no idea that his father used to lead a dangerous double life – and that is destiny is linked with that of 19year-old Chiyo in Tokyo… But while Chiyo is on the run from the police, Ian and Bpm are hunted by two dangerous killers…


Whether in the In-City London, the metropolis Tokyo or in the eternal ice of the Antarctic: Derek Meister gives his readers no time to breathe. Ghost Hunter, the first volume in a trilogy, has the swiftness of an action movie and the speed of a music video clip. The ghosts hunt Ian even in his sleep; scientists in the Antarctic fall off their vehicles in the cold of -66 degrees Celsius; and a flesh-and-blood manga-heroine makes her way through the crowded streets of Tokyo. Paranormal phenomena and a captivating family drama draw in boys and girls, adolescents and adults alike. An extraordinary mystery thriller!


 


Exceptional mixture of mystery, thriller, and science


 


The author toys with real life, still unexplained events such as the sighting of an UFO at Bentwater


 


Scientific phenomenon are put into a new context


 


Extraordinary settings: fast paced cities such as London or Tokyo and a science station in the Antarctic


 


With his mixture of horror, action and science Derek Meister has the making of a new Michael Crichton for adolescents!
