Description
After popular horror fiction author, Edwina Frost, dies a lonely death in her farmhouse cellar, her politician nephew asks poet Maria Pell to write Edwina’s biography.
He hints that there are episodes in Edwina’s life that will require sensitive treatment. When the bones of a child are found on Frost farmland, Maria intuits a connection between the child and Edwina. Maria can feel that Edwina’s soul has not gone on to a sweet reward, but instead roams the earth as a troubled spirit.
As Maria closes in on the child’s identity, Edwina’s spirit becomes malevolent, threatening to claim Maria who fights back in a fierce battle to maintain her sanity.
Advance Praise
“A poet writing a posthumous biography of a horror- novelist colleague gets caught up in an investigation of bones found buried on the author’s property in Handy’s thriller. A mystery novel with a sympathetic protagonist whose apparent descent into madness makes her no less riveting.” (Kirkus)
“Lynne Handy has packed a steamer trunk of action and intrigue into this slim volume, which is equal parts mystery, romance, thriller, and parable. The lively adventures of Maria Pell in the North Carolina backwater are punctuated by poetry that is sometimes achingly lovely and often just plain ingenious.”
