Beschreibung des Verlags
How far will she go to save the damned?
Keira is caught in a deadly battle. Her ability to help ghosts move on from the mortal world has made her a threat to Artec, a powerful corporation intent on trapping the tortured dead for profit. They've been tracking her for years and now, finally, there's nowhere left for her to run.
Artec fears Keira and everything she's capable of. They will stop at nothing to eliminate her―including sending armed men after everyone she holds dear.
Desperate and quickly running out of time, Keira races to hone her abilities as she searches for a way to destroy the twisted organization for good. But at least now she's no longer alone. Her friends have offered to follow wherever she leads, even if that means a direct strike deep into the heart of Artec's central base...and to the certain death waiting for them there.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Coates brings the pyrotechnics in the incendiary climax to her Gravekeeper series (after The Hollow Dead). Ghost whisperer Keira Collis feels a special responsibility to help spirits who have yet to pass on to the great beyond—especially the hordes who have been secretly imprisoned by the nefarious power company Artec to exploit their spectral energy. Now Schaeffer, the founder of Artec, has put a target on Keira's back for undermining the company's business interests. When his operatives begin roiling the peace of her sleepy British town of Blighty, Keira goes on the offensive, confronting Artec and its employees in their underground bunker with an onslaught of supernormal powers so formidable it brings to mind the climax of a superhero story. Though the novel's ending feels like a foregone conclusion, Coates draws on the camaraderie of friends who have helped Keira over the course of the series to make the showdown a satisfying group effort. Fans will find this a fitting finale.
