Und tatsächlich: Nach einer Séance nimmt die paranormale Energie so weit zu, dass Fenster zerbrechen und gespenstische Erscheinungen durch die Flure schreiten. Dann stirbt einer der Gäste und Remy zieht die Möglichkeit in Betracht, dass der Geist des einstigen Eigentümers noch in den Hallen weilt: John Carrow. Und der war ein irrer Serienmörder …

In the third installment of the Gravekeeper series by USA Today bestselling author Darcy Coates, Keira must decide if she should use her ability to contact ghosts to help the man who once tried to kill her. Hunted and haunted, all she wants is to put her mysterious past behind her and move forward with her new friends as Blighty Graveyard's groundskeeper. But then she receives an invitation to dinner at the local recluse's crumbling ancestral estate. The mansion is steeped in history that is equal parts complicated and bloody--and at its center is the man who once tried to kill her, now begging for her help. Dane Crispin believes his home is haunted--and that the unquiet dead clawing through the ancient house are after him. Unnerved but intrigued, Keira opens her second sight and discovers he's right: resentful specters cling to Dane...and if she can't find a way to stop them, threaten to consume everything in their path. There's something dark happening in the world beyond most peoples' vision, and if Keira isn't able to sever the ties between the living and the dead, the chained spirits may not be the only things twisted beyond saving.
