About this ebook
(Medicine For Ghosts is a short story prequel to the full-length novel The Disillusioners.)
It isn't unusual for an investigative reporter like Jarvis to hear rumours, but a rumour about prisoners who aren't supposed to exist? Well, that's another matter entirely. A mysterious, unsigned letter brings Jarvis to the military border town of Daruma with a promise that the story waiting for him there will be a blockbuster. For a young reporter trying to make a name for himself, the appeal is too great to resist. But what Jarvis discovers in Daruma will force him to weigh his duty as a reporter against his obligations as a citizen. What can he, a solitary reporter, do to make his country a better place to live?
