Publisher's Synopsis
It's 1963 and in a rented room, in the red-light district of San Antonio, Doc Ebersole lives with the ghost of Hank Williams. Doc, rumoured to have given Hank the final morphine dose that killed him, supports his own morphine habit. Having lost his licence to practise medicine, he performs abortions and patches up the odd knife or gunshot wound. Then, when he meets Graciela, a young Mexican immigrant, miraculous things begin to happen. Graciela heals others with the touch of her hand. Everyone she meets is transformed for the better - except Hank's angry ghost...
