Never steal from the dead... For Craig Ellison, life has never been easy. Born with the ability to see and communicate with ghosts, Craig has always done his best to help lost, restless souls move on in peace. But when mysterious middleman Peregrine Stark offers him a lucrative job, Craig finds himself hunting for a powerful amulet in the seemingly picturesque town of Grendon Mill. The moment Craig arrives, he senses something terribly wrong. The town harbors dark secrets, and the nearby woods are filled with the tortured cries of spirits unlike any he's encountered before. Twisted and malevolent, these entities will stop at nothing to protect the woods from outsiders. Joined by a resourceful woman with her own psychic abilities, Craig is drawn into a decades-old mystery involving a shadowy group whose influence reaches into every corner of the town. To survive, they will need to defeat these vicious souls controlled by the viler living, and they are going to need some help. Good thing the world's greatest ghost hunter happens to be in town...
