A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

When she was 15, Harper Connelly was struck by a bolt of lightning. She recovered, mostly . . . she has a strange spiderweb of red on parts of her body, and her right leg has episodes of weakness. Sometimes her right hand shakes. She has headaches. And she can find dead people.
Now Harper and Tolliver, her stepbrother, are hired to find a missing boy. But the truth is far worse than a single dead child, for numerous teenage boys, all unlikely runaways, have disappeared from Doraville, North Carolina. There's a serial killer at work - but the more of their secrets Harper uncovers, the greater a risk she places herself in. As she learns more than she cares to about the dark mysteries and long-hidden secrets of the town she become the next most likely person to end up in an ice cold grave . . .

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Hired to find a boy gene missing in Doraville, North Carolina, Harper Connelly and her brother Tolliver head there, only to discover that the boy was the only one left of several who had disappeared over the previous five years. All of them teenagers. All unlikely runaways.

All calling for Harper.

Harper soon finds them—eight victims, buried in the half-frozen ground, all come to an unspeakable end. Afterward, what she most wants to do is collect her fee and get out of town ahead of the media storm that's soon to descend. But when she's attacked and prevented from leaving, she reluctantly becomes a part of the investigation as she learns more than she cares to about the dark mysteries and long-hidden secrets of Doraville—knowledge that makes her the next person likely to rest in an ice-cold grave.
