Whistle-blower investigative journalist George Maynard has been killed in his St. Augustine home, his body so badly burned the morgue is needed to verify his identity. Paranormal investigator Shelly Mahoney has been transferred to a special unit to help law enforcement. Off the books, the unit is called the Krewe of Hunters and deals with “strange” cases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the murder scene with federal agent Grant Markham, Shelly makes an odd discovery: a stone etched with what appears to be a curse that invokes flames. If Shelly can use her ability to summon the dead—providing they have remained behind—she may unearth what happened.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrant, too, has an unique ability. By holding the hand of the recently deceased, he can see what has happened to them. Yet in this case, neither of their gifts is of any help. As they set out to question those who might have had a motive, they also study ancient “curse tablets”—often used in the Greco-Roman world to cause death or warfare.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat ensues is a shocking discovery by the medical examiner and a search that takes the team to Italy where a similar murder may reveal the creators of the mystical tablets—made deadly with a little human assistance. But soon, the danger is closer than ever—because the target is Shelly . . .\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003ePraise for Heather Graham\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Graham stands at the top of the romantic suspense category.” \u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Graham is a master at world building and her latest is a thrilling, dark, and deadly tale of romantic suspense.” \u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, starred review, on \u003ci\u003eHaunted Destiny\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A harrowing journey… Intelligent, fast-paced and frightening at all times.” \u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eSuspense Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eon \u003ci\u003eThe Final Deception\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A high-octane page turner that’s two parts thrills, one part cautionary tale, and an absolute blast to read.” \u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eProvidence Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e on\u003ci\u003e Danger in Numbers\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Graham and Land team up again in \u003ci\u003eBlood Moon\u003c\/i\u003e, creating a blistering-paced thrill ride through high-tech labs and across the jungles of Guatemala.
