Todd Ritter’s standalone novel Things Half in Shadow was published in 2014. Set in 1870s Philadelphia, the book follows a newspaper reporter who makes his living debunking fraudulent mediums. When a seance ends in murder, he finds himself investigating a crime that blurs the line between the living and the dead.
The historical setting marks a departure from the modern small-town mysteries of Ritter’s Kat Campbell series. The spiritualism craze of the 1870s provides a rich backdrop for a mystery that questions what is real and what is staged.
