Book description
The cemetery I know best is Forest Grove. I spend most of my time
there. That's where most of my friends are . . . The ones my age and
the children, they almost all need someone to talk to. They weren't
ready. They'll tell you that.
Murray doesn't have many friends at school. A quiet loner with a
troubled family life, he spends all his time down at Forest Grove
cemetery, speaking to the dead and listening to their stories.
When he hears a terrified new voice pleading for help, Murray is
convinced it is Nikki, a popular young cheerleader who went missing
over a month ago - but who will believe him? And where is the body?
Together with Pearl, the daughter of the cemetery groundskeeper,
Murray must struggle to uncover the truth in a town full of secrets.
Raised in Colorado and Montana, Charlie graduated from Stanford in
the early 60's and has lived in Italy, New York City, Oakland and
Mexico, before settling on a river in Northern California. In addition
to writing and working with therapeutic groups, Charlie is a trainer, an
executive coach, and a consultant who conducts business workshops and
troubleshoots for private and public agencies. He is married with one
grown-up daughter, and is an avid reader, a decent guitar player, a
pretty fair free-throw shooter, and a hopelessly addicted fisherman.
