SUNNY SLOPE was long touted as northern Oregon’s “friendliest neighborhood.” But that was before a predator moved in. Soon, a young teenage boy would take his own life. Another would disappear without a trace. As fear took hold of the community, the playground at its heart became suddenly deserted. Friends Harry Bolden and Fred Von Stiller knew they had to do something. The aging veterans launched an investigation of their own – only to find themselves in the crosshairs of a sinister organization.

The Ghosts We Know is the harrowing yet heartwarming story of an unlikely friendship forged in the fires of a community under siege.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

William Dean is an award-winning writer and editor who had a lengthy career as an investigative journalist before becoming a novelist. He is the author of four suspense novels: The Have-Nots, Militia Men, Dangerous Freedom and The Ghosts We Know.

Dean feels a need to be close to water, a desire likely rooted in his bicoastal upbringing that he later echoed in his career.

His family left Brooklyn when he was in kindergarten, ending up in the San Francisco area, where his father taught science and his mother worked as a nurse.

Dean graduated from San Francisco State University with a journalism degree and went on to blaze a trail at a half-dozen newspapers, including the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and Newsday on Long Island. Many of the in-depth investigations he led either as a reporter or editor resulted in major reforms. One project prompted a governor to fire his corrupt top law enforcement official. Another led a state’s high court to boost minimum standards for lawyers representing Death Row inmates.

After leaving Newsday as a senior editor in 2018, Dean turned to his dream of writing novels inspired by the many interesting characters he’d encountered.

The inspiration behind Dangerous Freedom was a series of interviews behind prison walls that Dean had with a jailhouse lawyer in Boise, Idaho. The Ghosts We Know was influenced by the close friendship Dean’s Parkinson’s-stricken father forged with his German caregiver, a fellow World War II veteran.

Dean lives in Astoria, Oregon, where he also writes a blog and a monthly newspaper column about craft beer.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this!

    I absolutely love this book and all its layers. It's so great to find main characters who are older but still so vital, forming a new, touching relationship - and then getting wrapped up in a thriller plot. Why do all main characters in novels have to be young? They don't! The suspense that builds makes it a perfect page turner - great for vacation. It's a fast read, too - very easy going! I totally recommend!

    The book is about two friends trying to figure out what is going on in their small Oregon town. Something bad! It's full of twists and turns and surprises. But it also explores the history of the two friends, Harry and Fred, going back to World War II, before they met. The friendship of these two is touching, while the plot keeps you reading to see what will happen next.

    This suspense novel grabbed me from page one. I loved the main characters, Harry and Fred, and how they refused to stand by and do nothing as their small Oregon town became victimized by a child predator. William Dean does a superb job of telling the story from different perspectives, building to a thrilling climax. I strongly recommend!

    4.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining story with interesting characters
    Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2022
    Format: Kindle
    I enjoyed this book. It was well-written and the two main characters, Harry and Fred, who are both veterans of World War II (albeit on opposite sides) have interesting back stories that come to light as the story progresses. Harry, now in his 70s is an ex-cop, and he and Fred become unlikely friends, joining forces to investigate the suicide of one teen and the disappearance of another. As the story unfolds, the two discover there is a child pornography ring operating in the small town.

    If I had one complaint about this otherwise fine story, it would be that I felt that the ending was a bit of a letdown; but that might be because the author has a sequel planned.

    I would read more books by this author.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Can Harry and Fred save the children!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2022
    Format: Kindle
    The Ghost We Know is a novel by William Dean. I felt that this story was well written, had strong characters, I felt strong emotions, and The Ghost We Know is more than a fictional thriller, this story could be taken right off the front page of today's newspaper. A teenage boy has committed suicide and shortly after that another boy goes missing. Harry and Fred decide to find out why and who might be involved. William Dean takes the reader on a journey into terrible child abuse. Powerful men with ties to crime are manipulating boys to do terrible things. The book is excellent, but, very emotional to read. I received an arc for free and am leaving my review voluntarily.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Two stories in one book - one not good, the other very good.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2022
    Format: Kindle
    I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

    This book should come with a 'content warning' regarding its child pornography element, which in my opinion was unnecessary to the essence of the book.

    Harry, a WW2 veteran, ex-cop and Jewish grandfather and his friend Fred, German, WW2 veteran and ex-pianist are both widowers who become friends through playing chess in a neighhbourhood park. They share memories of their war situations as well as their now dead wives.

    A teenage suicide quickly followed by another boy going missing trigger a town-wide suspicion that something bad is happening to some of the children. Harry's grandson is involved and using police interview tactics, Harry learns the truth. He and Fred fail to get the town's police involved and then they bungle their own attempt at exposing the perpetrator…

    The more compelling element of the story (in my opinion) is that Fred is estranged and exiled from his German family which profited from Jewish people selling up and escaping Nazi Germany. After his father's death, Fred is contacted by his dying mother who asked him to return the ill-gotten property and so restore the family honour. His brothers challenge this in court, but Fred proceeds regradless.

    With several chapters to go, the child pronorgraphy element of the story is wrapped up, but the story moves to Germany to chase down the escaped perpetrator.

    It felt like the plot was muddled and some of the policing and some of the legal aspects of returning disputed property rippled the book's credibility. The story of two WW2 veterans and returning Jewish property should've been the story and the other element detracted from what could've been a good read.
