Description:
Ghosts can’t catch a killer, but they can help two city detectives hunt for one.
Eager for a week off from their high-pressure jobs, Detectives Daniels and Remalla arrive in the small town of Dumont to clean out the cabin of Daniels’ deceased grandfather. Their vacation is only slightly upended when they learn the area is haunted by the ghost of a woman whose body was found on the banks of the Black River near the cabin. Her unsolved murder still haunts the town where she lived and died.
Despite Remalla’s apprehension and Daniels’ indifference about the ghostly sightings, their troubles multiply when they discover a second woman’s body on the banks of the river. And when they learn the small-town sheriff and suspicious townspeople suspect them of the crime, their peaceful getaway becomes an investigation.
Thrown into a case they didn’t ask for, Daniels and Remalla must navigate a town steeped in secrets and haunted by its past. From an eccentric fortune-telling duo to a surly elderly woman with a dangerous grandson, from a suspicious drifter to a sheriff obsessed with the paranormal, everyone seems to hide something. Even Daniels’ late grandfather may have known more than he let on. The partners’ questioning leads them to believe that Dumont is hiding a dark secret that someone has killed to keep hidden, and if they stick around, they could be next.
But they’re not the only ones on the hunt for justice. And when a killer comes calling, their survival will depend not only on each other, but on the dead who haunt Dumont.
Perfect for readers who love murder mysteries infused with supernatural elements, this series is the perfect blend of police procedural and paranormal suspense. Family bonds are tested, emotional moments deepen relationships, and ride-or-die partnerships face unimaginable threats.
Fans of John Connolly’s Charlie Parker series, Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child’s Pendergast novels, and Dean Koontz’s Odd Thomas will find themselves at home in this riveting series where two detectives face killers, ghosts, and their own demons together - where partnership means survival and brotherhood is the strongest weapon against evil.
