Murphy's Ghost Steve Bartholomew

Sometimes real sanity is found only in a mad house. San Francisco, 1879: Georg Vintner, A. K. A the Driver, has returned after two years at sea only to discover the woman he loves is still confined to the lunatic asylum. Only by rescuing her, can he discover if he wants a life with her. Only then can he learn the truth. Wealthy investor, Nathan Foster Casco, must keep that woman locked away. She is Genevieve Sutliff, confessed murderer, and if she gets loose, she will interfere with his schemes - or so he believes. Driver finds himself deep in the middle of plot and intrigue, trying to unravel Casco's tangled web of lies, save the woman he loves, and gain true justice for Murphy - the slain stagecoach teamster. If he fails, everyone will lose. And then there's the matter of the teamster's ghost... Sometimes the murdered refuse to stay dead.
