A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Harper Connolly is honest, ethical and loyal - and ever since a bolt of lightning zapped her on the head, she's had an extra-special talent: she can find dead people. It's not a common-or-garden job. Some people find Harper's talent useful and fascinating, but she's getting used to most people treating her like a blood-sucking leech, preying on the recently bereaved and offering false hope. She's become an expert at getting in, getting paid and getting out, fast.
So when Harper and her stepbrother Tolliver are hired to help in the Ozarks, they're wary. Their mission is to find a local teenager - missing, believed dead - and instead they find that someone is willing go to extraordinary lengths ­­to bury a secret.
It doesn't take long before Tolliver is locked away on trumped-up charges and Harper's fighting for her life . . .

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The first Harper Connelly mystery from #1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris!

Harper Connelly has what you might call a strange job: she finds dead people. She can sense the final location of a person who’s passed, and share their very last moment. Harper and her stepbrother Tolliver are experts at getting in, getting paid, and then getting out of town fast—because the people who hire Harper have a funny habit of not really wanting to know what she has to tell them.

At first, the little Ozarks town of Sarne seems like no exception.  A teenage girl has gone missing, but the secrets of her death—and the secrets of the town—are deep enough that even Harper’s special ability can’t uncover them.  With hostility welling up all around them, she and Tolliver would like nothing better than to be on their way.  But then another woman is murdered.  And the killer’s not finished yet...
