Synopsis

Harper Blaine was your average small-time PI until she died—for two minutes. Now Harper is a Greywalker, treading the thin line between the living world and the paranormal realm. And she’s discovering that her new abilities are landing her all sorts of “strange” cases.

When a comatose woman suddenly wakes up and starts painting scenes she’s never witnessed, with a skill she’s never had, medical science has no explanation. As more bizarre phenomena manifest, including strange voices coming from her mouth, even her doctors wonder whether the woman may be possessed.

Frustrated and frightened, the patient’s sister turns to Harper to discover who—or what—is occupying her sister’s body. As Harper digs into the case, she discovers other patients struck with the same mystifying afflictions and a disturbing connection to one of the most gruesome episodes in Washington’s history....

About this title

About the Author:

Kat Richardson is the author of the Greywalker novels, including Seawitch, Downpour, and Labyrinth. She lives in the wilds of Western Washington, where she hunts down bits of history to turn into terrifying tales, accompanied by her husband and rescued pit bull terrier. She rides a motorcycle, shoots target pistol, and digs around in the garden, because you never know what you’ll find under a rock.

From Booklist:

In the eighth Greywalker novel, Seattle private investigator Harper Blaine reluctantly agrees to look into the odd case of a comatose woman who is apparently possessed. Harper, despite her own experience with the strange and unusual, is skeptical, but when she learns of two other, similar cases, she’s intrigued. Could someone or something be trying to communicate from the other side? And what, she soon wonders, does a woman responsible for dozens of deaths nearly a century ago have to do with what is happening today? Harper Blaine is an interesting character. As faithful series readers know, a few years ago she died for two minutes, and now she is “one of the rare few who can move through the overlapping fringes of the world of the normal and that of the paranormal,” as she describes herself here. Richardson surrounds her with an assortment of well-drawn characters, human and otherwise, and gives her a good, solid mystery to solve. Fans of the previous series entries or of urban fantasy in general should be well pleased. --David Pitt
