Book description
A year ago, archaeologist Leslie MacIntyre barely survived an explosion
that took the life of her fianc&232 , Matt Connolly. Since then
she's slowly come to terms with both her loss and an unsettling ability
to communicate with ghosts, a "gift" received in the wake of
her brush with death. Now she's returned to lower Manhattan, site of the
explosion, to investigate a newly discovered burial ground. In this
place restless spirits hold the secrets not only of past injustice but
of a deadly conspiracy against the city's women--including Leslie
herself. By night Matt visits her in dreams, warning her and offering
clues to the truth. By day she finds herself helped by--and attracted
to--his flesh-and-blood cousin Joe. Torn by her feelings for both men,
caught between the worlds of the living and the dead, Leslie struggles
against the encroaching danger. As she is drawn closer to the darkness,
she must ultimately face the power of an evil mind, alone in a place
where not even the men she loves can save her. A year ago,
