As she learns more about Edgar's past, Kate starts to realize that she's way out of her depth. Why did he really leave Thaxos for so many years, and what happened to his old friend James Nixon? She soon discovers that the answer to both these questions can be found in a shallow grave near the mansion.

Meanwhile, Edgar senses that an attempt is going to be made on his life. Some of the locals are tired of the fact that Thaxos has never been free, and one in particular is determined to gain revenge. Cavaleri blames Edgar for a family tragedy, and she'll stop at nothing as she sets out to make the Le Comptes pay.

This is the third book in the long-running Dead Souls saga. Each book ends with a cliffhanger, and readers are advised to start at the beginning.
