Sarah McKinley's fascination with American history began at
a very early age. Living in St. Augustine, Florida, where
history stretches over 400 years is a major contributor to
her interest. She's just purchased and started renovations
on the old mortuary house in Old Town, where she not only
works but spent her childhood. She's always loved the house
and now she's getting the opportunity to turn it into a bed
and breakfast, so she can share its beauty with not only
the locals but tourists as well. With the last wall being
torn down, the construction crew makes a startling
discovery; the wall is stuffed with dozens of human remains
still intact. This finding dredges up the history of the
past owners of the house and the missing girls during their
time.
Caleb Anderson is a unique private investigator, who looks
at the abnormal if not strange twists in the cases he is
working on. He is currently following the case of a missing
girl who last traveled to an airport near St. Augustine.
Unfortunately, the trail goes cold shortly after renting
her car. Caleb decides to get a feel for the surrounding
area by assisting the local law enforcement using his
diving skills to help look for a local missing girl. He is
quickly drawn to Old Town and its mysterious lure, only to
find a fascinating historical storyteller and the beautiful
part of history she owns. He is unable to stay away from
Sarah after the discovery of bones; he can't shake the
feeling his research and the missing girls are related
somehow to the history of the town.
UNHALLOWED GROUND is a dark and fascinating tale that keeps
you guessing until the very last page, even though you
might want to close your eyes at times.
When Sarah McKinley is finally able to buy and restore the
historic Florida mansion that she has always loved, she
dismisses the horror stories of past residents vanishing and
a long-dead housekeeper who practiced black magic. Then, in
the midst of renovations, she makes a grim discovery. Hidden
within the walls of Sarah�s dream house are the remains of
dozens of bodies - some dating back over a century.
The door to the past is blown wide open when Caleb
Anderson, a private investigator, shows up at the mansion.
He believes several current missing persons cases are linked
to the house and its dark past. Working together to find the
connection and stop a contemporary killer, Sarah and Caleb
are compelled to research the history of the haunted house,
growing closer to each other even as the solution to the
murders eludes them.
But there is one who knows the
truth�a spirit who follows every move they make. Soon
Caleb
begins to fear that if he can't stay a step ahead, he could
lose Sarah to a killer with an ability to transcend time in
a quest for blood and sacrifice.
