Praise forGhostwalk “A beautifully written book, mixing a compelling contemporary love story and a fascinating historical investigation, with Isaac Newton and alchemy playing a crucial role. The mystery at the novel’s center is audacious, convincing, and will make readers think anew about what history is.”—Iain Pears, author ofAn Instance of the Fingerpost “Stott moves between past and present with the page-turning dexterity of a literary alchemist—a novel of intrigue as cleverly imagined as it is entertaining.”—Joseph Kanon, author ofThe Good German,The Prodigal Spy, andLos Alamos “A dangerous love story and mystery, where after a time neither the reader nor the heroine can tell what is true. You slip through the shimmering prose and fall into the alchemy of Newton and certain unsolved crimes of his time until you begin to wonder if what happened then can affect what might happen now. Blending contemporary quantum physics with the winding streets of ancient Cambridge,Ghostwalkis a highly intelligent and original novel.”—Stephanie Cowell, author ofNicholas CookeandThe Physician of London   “An amazing work—a highly intelligent thriller that combines the supernatural with modern quantum theory, the current war on terror with Isaac Newton's work on light and gravity, and his delving into alchemy in the seventeenth century. At once mind-boggling and mind-expanding.”—Nicholas Mosley, author ofHopeful MonstersandTime at War “This daring mystery tangles occult and scientific knowledge with obsessive love and hidden world events. It is wonderfully down to earth, and genuinely eerie. Once in, you are not likely to leave off reading until after the very last twist.”—Dame Gillian Beer
