Utgivarens beskrivning
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. . .
'Harris delivers a knuckle-gnawing tale . . . [that] will challenge the most jaded mystery buffs' Publishers Weekly on Grave Sight
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Harris's exciting third Harper Connelly mystery (after 2006's Grave Surprise) finds the psychic sleuth faced with her most challenging and heartbreaking job to date: locating the bodies of "runaway" boys who the people of Doraville, N.C., suspect have become victims of a serial killer. After Harper locates eight long-dead bodies, much to the surprise of skeptical Sheriff Sandra Rockwell, a mysterious figure attacks Harper. Though all Harper wants is to go home and recover from her injuries, the local authorities and State Bureau of Investigation agents demand that she stay in town to help with their investigation. The cold case heats up fast, attracting media attention as well as Harper's friends, ailing psychic Xylda Bernardo and her doting grandson, Manfred, who make another gruesome discovery. Harper's changing relationship with her stepbrother, manager and confidant, Tolliver Lang, lends personal interest. Harris dependably delivers fear with charming down-home finesse.
