Fiction

Carystown, Kentucky, is still scarred by the mysterious disappearance a year ago of Isabella Moon. Faced with an almost complete lack of evidence ? lack, even, of a body ? the case of the missing girl is still open, and, though the commotion and media circus which engulfed the small town has long since subsided, Sheriff Bill Delaney is no nearer a resolution. But Kate Russell knows that Isabella is not missing, but dead. And she knows that her spirit is hardly resting in peace. For the ghost of the young girl has disrupted Kate?s quietly idyllic life, beckoning to her to follow, to reveal to Kate the truth about her death?
As the ghost of Isabella draws Kate into the investigation, the charming fa?ade of Carystown starts to crumble ? the small town will be forever changed by the disappearance of the young girl, undone by murder, secrets, and lies? First published 2007.
