About this audiobook

Southern mystery writer Charlaine Harris is the New York Times bestselling author of Grave Sight and the Sookie Stackhouse series. Supernatural curiosities, finely wrought characters, and unpredictable plotting combine in this exciting whodunit.

Twenty-something Harper Connelly has a gift. After being struck by lightning as a child, she discovered an eerie ability to locate the deceased. In Memphis, skeptical Professor Nunley wants her to demonstrate that skill at an ancient cemetery.

There Harper stands atop a grave and says there are two bodies entombed: one centuries old, but the other, a young girl named Tabitha. Her assertion holds water. Tabitha has been missing for two years—and now the police are suspicious of Harper. So with her loyal stepbrother Tolliver, Harper begins to amass clues that will solve the case.

Harris’ expert pacing builds the suspense as two young sleuths navigate a string of strange occurrences that has others scratching their heads.
