Book description
Harper Connelly was struck by lightning as a teenager, and now she can
find the dead. In her third case, Harper and Tolliver, her stepbrother,
are hired to find a missing grandson. But the truth is far worse than a
single dead child, for numerous teenage boys, all unlikely runaways,
have disappeared from Doraville, North Carolina. Harper soon finds the
eight bodies, buried in the half-frozen ground, but then, still reeling
from coming into contact with her first serial killer, she is attacked
and injured. Now she and Tolliver have no choice but to stay in
Doraville while she recovers, and as she reluctantly becomes part of the
investigation, she learns more than she cares to about the dark
mysteries and long-hidden secrets of the town: knowledge that makes her
the most likely person to be next to end up in an ice-cold grave.
Charlaine Harris lives in southern Arkansas with her husband, three
children, two dogs, two ferrets, and a duck. An avid reader, mild
cinemafile, and occasional weightlifter, her favourite activity is
cheering her children on in various sports.
