Harper Connelly faces her first serial killer in the third paranormal mystery from bestselling author Charlaine Harris.

Harper Connelly was struck by lightning as a teenager—now she can find dead people and uses her special talent to make a living. Hired to locate a missing boy, Harper and her stepbrother Tolliver head to Doraville, North Carolina. But the truth is far worse than they feared. Numerous teenaged boys have disappeared from Doraville over the years. All unlikely runaways. All calling for Harper.

She soon finds them—eight bodies, buried in the half-frozen ground. All Harper wants is to collect her fee and leave town before she's caught in the media storm. But then she's attacked and learns far more than she cares to about the long-hidden secrets of Doraville.

Knowledge that makes her next in line to end up in an ice-cold grave...
