Pale as Death (Krewe of Hunters Series #25)

by Heather Graham

Overview

From the dark depths of Hollywood’s past

The crime scene is horrific: the corpse of a young actress, drained of blood and cut in two. LAPD Detective Sophie Manning’s new case is high-profile and difficult—there’s no evidence to work with. And it’s a disturbing echo of the infamous Black Dahlia killing. Sophie is burning the candle at both ends, desperate to catch the murderer before he strikes again, when she starts to experience inexplicable visits…from ghosts.

Bruce McFadden has a particular talent that can help Sophie—he can speak with the dead. As a consultant for the FBI’s paranormal team, the Krewe of Hunters, he’s been tasked with Sophie’s case and they’re forced to partner up. But Sophie doesn’t want his help, and she doesn’t want to share his peculiar skill. And she certainly isn’t ready for love, despite Bruce’s attentions.

As the killer taunts the police, Sophie and Bruce will discover that the threat is closer to home than they’d ever realized. Working side by side is the only way they’ll stop this deadly sequel.

From the Publisher

The latest in the Krewe of Hunters series is a fantastic listen with an ending you won't see coming. Narrator Luke Daniels creates memorable characters among the living and the dead. LAPD Detective Sophie Manning finds herself in the middle of a grisly murder reminiscent of the infamous Black Dahlia case. As the investigation unfolds, everyone is a suspect—including the police—and Sophie must contend with her ability to communicate with the dead and a surprising relationship with Bruce McFadden, an investigator who has paranormal connections. As the race to identify the killer escalates, the story includes surprising twists and turns. Those who haven't listened to other Krewe books may find it a bit difficult to keep track of all the characters at first, but that won’t detract from their enjoyment of the story.
