City of Ghosts
(GhostWriters series, book #1)
Jackson Stone is touring the abandoned Chinese city when he slips away from the group to spend the night, determined to publish an account of his ghostly experiences there.
Then he meets Yuèhai, a strange, soft-spoken woman who can tell him the city’s secrets—secrets the Chinese government would kill to keep hidden.
As Jackson uncovers the truth about Yuèhai and the ghost city, he’s drawn into a web of conspiracy, betrayal, and murder. He must risk everything to save himself and bring honor back to Yuèhai and her family.

From The Reviewers
“It’s spooky, lots of good mood here, but also funnier than I thought it was going to be.”
Chuck Wendig, New York Times Bestselling Author of Blackbirds
“Exceptional character development, a tightly plotted storyline, relentless pacing, and a perfect fusion of horror and irreverence make this virtually impossible to put down.
The narrative seed is a ghost story, like the timeless and treasured paranormal mysteries of the early 1900s by Algernon Blackwood and Cherie Priest’s Eden Moore and Kat Richardson’s Greywalker sagas of the early 2000’s.
But Moncrieff has done something remarkable here: She has taken something old and made it new again. Stone and Kate—the skeptic and the medium—make a dynamic pair, and the sexual tension doesn’t hurt either. With the novel’s addition of exotic locales, adept storytelling, and a decidedly creepy undertone, Moncrieff could very well be the 21st century’s version of Algernon Blackwood.
