Having exposed a group of fraudulent spiritualists, investigative journalist Joanna Cross is intrigued by the claims of psychologist Dr Sam Towne that paranormal phenomena do in fact exist. Accepting his challenge to enter into a scientific experiment to 'create' a ghost, Joanna, Sam and six volunteers bring to life 'Adam Wyatt' - a young American living in France after the American War of Independence. Associated with the great minds and mystics at the close of the eighteenth century, he dies tragically in the French Revolution. The experiment is a great success, with poltergeist activity and disembodied messages all scientifically recorded. Sam's theory appears conclusive - that ghosts are created by the people who see them. But a series of inexplicable and ominous events force Joanna and Sam to realize the ghost they have brought to life can also cause death...

On peut avoir un caractère de chien, un sens de la répartie assassin, mais rester, même malgré soi, un mec bien. Hugh Laurie, formidable interprète du Dr. House, a largement su le prouver sur le petit écran, il récidive avec ce thriller palpitant dont le héros, Thomas Lang est un ancien militaire d'élite qui, hormis sa Kawasaki ZZR1100, n'a pas grand chose à perdre. Aussi, lorsqu'on lui propose 100 000 dollars pour tuer Mr. Woolf, un riche homme d'affaire londonien, Thomas ne se contente pas de refuser poliment, mais pousse l'indécence jusqu'à essayer de prévenir la future victime du complot qui se trame contre lui. Une bonne intention ? L'enfer en est pavé. On retrouve dans ce thriller aussi prenant qu'un livre de Robert Ludlum, aussi décapant qu'un épisode de Dr. House, le mauvais esprit salvateur de Hugh Laurie, au service d'une intrigue passionnante et d'un personnage qu'on n'oubliera pas de sitôt.
