Dashing, captivating Adam Lang was Britain's longest serving -- and most controversial -- prime minister of the last half century, whose career ended in tatters after he sided with America in an unpopular war on terror. Now, after stepping down in disgrace, Lang is hiding out in the wintry ghost town of Martha's Vineyard to finish his much sought-after, potentially explosive memoir. But the project runs aground when his ghostwriter suddenly disappears and later washes up, dead, on the island's deserted shore.

Enter our hero -- Lang's new ghostwriter -- cynical, mercenary, and quick with a line of deadpan humor. Accustomed to working with fading rock stars and minor celebrities, he jumps at the chance to be the new ghost of Adam Lang's memoirs, though it doesn't take long to realize he has made a fatal error in judgement. When the Ghost begins to unearth the bone-chilling circumstances of his predecessor's death he discovers that the ex-prime minister is a dark, tortured man with haunting secrets in his past -- secrets with the power to alter world politics. Secrets with the power to kill.

The Ghost is yet another brilliant Robert Harris tour de force that will compel, captivate, and excite listeners to the very end.
