First Lines: The coin clunked in the slot, hurdy-gurdy music played and the chipped, painted head creaked round to face Johnny. His attempt to be brave melted, he whimpered and buried his face in his gran's skirts. She reached down and patted his head.
Repossession
Brenda Wray is terminal but before she dies she casts one last spell. To bring together her mother and father to provide a better future for her son, Johnny. She’s cast back to the 1940s in Blackpool when Gus Harlow, wizard, visits a backstreet club to pay of his brother’s gambling debts and clasps eyes on the beautiful black singer Iris Steele.
Few days later he disturbs an attack, rescues her and sneaks her back to his B&B. They spend one glorious night together but she sneaks out rather than being caught but the owner who has a postcard in her window – she’s pregnant.
Forty years later Iris takes her grandson Johnny back to Blackpool. This time she can stay in the same B&B. During dinner she meets Gus and has an heart attack. He finds out he has a daughter and grandson. Gus is now a famous writer and investingator of the paranormal.
Gus is so wrapped up in his new life that he doesn’t notice his adopted son, Dr Jason Harlow, has been possessed by a dying patient who wants to go home to Guatemala.
With Brenda’s help they extract the spirit and Brenda dies. She is cremated and they scatter her ashes in Guatemala near where Jason’s mother is buried.
