Description
A woman has vanished on the Camino de Santiago, the ancient five-hundred-mile pilgrimage that crosses northern Spain. Daniel, an Irish expat, walks the lonely trail carrying his wife, Petra’s, ashes, along with the damning secret of how she really died.
When he teams up to walk with vibrant California girl Ginny, she seems like the perfect antidote for his grieving heart. But a nightmare figure begins to stalk them, and Daniel's mind starts to unravel from the horror of things he cannot explain.
Unexpected twists and turns echo the path of the ancient trail they walk upon. The lines begin to blur between reality and madness, between truth and the lies we tell ourselves.

Daniel is in Spain walking the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage of 500 miles. Daniel is Irish and has been living in New jersey for many years. He intends to go back to Ireland and help his father on the family farm after walking the Camino and spreading Petra’s ashes along the trail.
Daniel and his wife Petra had always wanted to walk the Camino together but as he walks alone on the Camino, he finds it hard to find the perfect spot to spread Petra’s ashes. As he procrastinates his decision a young woman called Ginny befriends him and they walk together sharing their life stories.
As the days go by Daniel discovers they are being stalked by ghostly spirits.
Throughout this story there are descriptions of scenery, churches, towns, their accommodation and the different characters they meet along the trail. But all the while Daniel and Ginny struggle with their past and the ghostly spirits that follow them.
This was a good ghost story and I loved the way the Camino trail was described with snippets of historical and religious information.
