I have what you might call a strange job: I find dead people. I can sense the final location of a person who's passed and share their very last moment. The way I see it, I'm providing a service to the dead while bringing some closure to the living--but used to most people treating me like a blood-sucking leech...

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, and Harper knows almost immediately that this girl is dead. 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...

Quotes edit see section history

  • “I'm not saying I'm a unbeliever. Nor am I agnostic. But I have to talk to other people about God in ways they'll understand, because my God doesn't seem to be anything like theirs.”
    Harper Connelly
  • “I hadn't seasoned slowly enough. I'd acquired a hard brittle shell intstead of toughening all the way through.”
    Harper Connelly
  • “All the stands touted some version of the hillbilly theme, a marketing strategy that I found incomprehensible. 'We were sure ignorant and toothless and picturesque! Stop to see if we still are!'”
    Haper Connelly
