For decades, Gerry Marden has lived like a ghost.
Once the songwriter behind a legendary underground Australian band called The Peacemakers, Gerry disappeared from music-and from life itself-after devastating personal tragedy shattered him beyond repair. Now in his seventies, isolated and carrying a terminal diagnosis he has told almost no one about, he expects only silence and obscurity in the final chapter of his life.
Then Cynthia, the widow of his late best friend and musical brother John, drags him back into the world.
What begins as a reluctant week of rehearsals with a young indie band called The Retrorockets becomes something none of them expected: a collision between generations, between grief and hope, between lost dreams and second chances. Gerry's forgotten songs explode back to life in the hands of musicians young enough to be his grandchildren, and nowhere is the connection more electric than with Linda-the band's fiercely talented frontwoman, whose bond with Gerry feels immediate, profound, and strangely familiar.
As rehearsals intensify and music resurrects emotions Gerry thought long buried, long-hidden family secrets begin to surface. What starts as artistic rebirth slowly transforms into something far more dangerous and intimate. Desire, memory, regret, love, and identity blur together as the past returns with devastating force.
Then, on the night of a triumphant comeback performance that leaves an audience transformed, the truth arrives.
And by morning, everything has changed.
A powerful, emotionally charged novel about music, aging, creativity, grief, family secrets, and the redemptive power of human connection, Haunted Hunting explores what happens when people who believe themselves broken are given one final chance to feel alive again.
Some songs refuse to die.
And some loves wait a lifetime to be heard.
