Infamous by Suzanne Brockmann. 433 p.
A.J. goes to a movie set to convince the historical consultant that the story presented is all wrong--the "hero" of the Wild West, Quinn, was really a villain, and the "villain," A.J.'s great-grandfather, was really a hero. Alison, the consultant, is curious, although she's not going to buy it until A.J. comes up with some evidence. But A.J.'s biggest source of information is his great-grandfather's ghost, who's following him around and talking to him. Explaining that is going to be problematic, especially since A.J. is a Gulf War vet with a mental health discharge and PTSD & alcoholism issues.... This book didn't really work for me; Alison & A.J.'s issues are treated a little too realistically for something that's just fluff, but the ghost and the suspense subplot are too fluffy to fit with a more serious book. I have no problem with any of the individual components Brockmann's working with here, but they just didn't gel for me in this case.
