A missing school teacher, decomposed remains in a shallow grave, and a sadistic serial killer prowling Saint Louis by the semi-darkness of the waning moon... EXACTLY the kind of thing Rowan Gant has no choice but to face. But, this time his bane, the uncontrolled channeling of murder victims, isn't helping; for the dead are speaking, but not necessarily to him. Rowan once again must skirt the prejudices of police lieutenant Barbara Albright as he and his best friend, homicide detective Ben Storm, race to save a friend... and perhaps someone even closer.
