pol.ter.geist (noun): `Noisy spirit`; source of disturbances of paranormal origin. In a retirement community in the desert of southern Arizona, Jack and Chloe Monroe have an unwanted guest. What once appeared merely strange has now taken on sinister overtones. What once seemed a curiosity now seems terrifying. Paranormal researcher Dr Luke Jackson reluctantly takes up the investigation and finds himself drawn into the series of unexplained events at the Monroe house. Time is against Luke. He has just one week to unravel the mystery before he must return home. The Hidden Whisper offers a rare opportunity to enter the intriguing world of the paranormal through the eyes of Luke Jackson. It is supported by a set of endnotes compiled by the author, parapsychologist JJ Lumsden, which offer expanded explanations into many of the topic areas raised throughout the story, including Extra Sensory Perception, Psychokinesis, Ghosts, Poltergeists and Out-of-Body Experiences.
