Publisher's Synopsis
When people begin disappearing, it isn't far removed from human nature to ignore the problem and hope it goes away. And if it doesn't go away, hopefully it will bother another and not strike home. Of course, with a pirate war in progress, the law has other things on its mind, and that is when Zee Castle might step in. But what can even the most gifted investigator do without a suspect to investigate? Or even a body? Nevada County has a secret no one can fathom. The living and the undead investigators sent to the Sierra Nevada Mountains seem destined to fail, providing they survive. When Victoria finds herself deprived of her investigator and her back to a tree, she realizes she has a choice before her. Stand and fight, or let her long years come to an end.
