ghost comes along with the case.

time? Is there more than meets the eyes? Sophie must solve a case
based on a perfect crime.
Graham has written a suspenseful thriller with a hint of romance. While
the main focus is the murder case at hand, love is still a big part of the
story. You will find lots of police work, forensics and investigation
throughout have they try to desperately find the murder suspect.

backstories. Some are more secretive and slowly come to light with
each page you read. They are likable and real.
The Black Dahlia murder has been told through numerous
documentaries over the years and people know lots of the details
surrounding the murder. Graham has really done her research in re-
creating this murder mystery making it vividly realistic. PALE AS DEATH is a true nail-biting
read in the Krewe of Hunters
series. The perfect fall read to get you ready for the Halloween season.
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.
