My name is Daniel de Boar and I am a journalist - type of. I improve the business portion of one of London's less-well-known local rags. Despite my career shortfall, until a year ago, I was a happily wedded man with the entire world at my legs, a beautiful girl (who happened to be an exceptionally good journalist) on my arm, and our entire lives before us. If I acquired any problems whatsoever these were of the mundane variety: cleaning up the kitchen when Bert the pet cat decided yesterday's chicken breast would look better in his dish as opposed to the bin, listening to my Editor moan about my shabby clothes, dandruff - you understand, regular stuff. And then one night, all that changed when I got the knock and the friendly policewoman told me my wife was dead, killed in an automobile crash. Well, I could absolve you for thinking the storyline started there. But no, not so fast. It needed almost yearly for this report to get interesting. And that was the night when my wife - the see-through version with the floating body - fell set for a visit. Now I'm up to my neck in the spirit world of North London, searching for hordes of misbehaving ghost and guarding the locals from all types of ghoulish trickery and skullduggery. And if that wasn't bad enough, I spend my days together with somebody who is likely the oldest living man in the history of humanity - even if he doesn't look a day over 30. A guy whose job it is to police the local ghost population, a guy with the style sense of an 1980's glam rock guitarist and - yes, I cannot forget this part - a guy who whistles a great deal - Yeah, I understand, I thought that was strange, too. An old and particularly awful ghost has awakened and is wanting his best to cause havoc and mayhem by pitting the residents of North London against one another. It appears he will not be happy until every man and woman are either deceased or dying - or too knackered to put on a attack. "Yet another job for the Whistler" I listen to you say. But when he requests my help...
