A Ghost Bird Mystery  a mysterious old man and a strange bird set the scene for this urban fairytale for the new millennium. But what part do they play in the love story that spans a century?

The ghost bird’s ethereal beauty is the source of its spooky nickname, but the reason for its disappearing acts is more sinister. Illegal hunting and poaching threaten these creatures, which are valued for their rare appearance or as a delicacy in some cultures. They also face the sever threat of climate change, which alters weather patterns and disrupts food supplies.
