As the night receiver for the Sterling Home for Fine Funerals in Charleston, South Carolina, Alice Belrose’s only duty is to unlock the gate for bodies that arrive after dark. She is not to enter the mortuary under any circumstances. For years, she’s tuned out the voices of the dead. But Alice can no longer ignore her calling when she hears the ghostly pleas from a new arrival: Find her…
Eighteen years ago, twin sisters were abducted from a school playground in Alice’s hometown. Elodie was later found alone on the side of the highway with no memory of what had happened, but Amalia was never seen again. Now, tragically, Elodie is dead. Her last request-command—is that Alice find her long-lost sister.
Pursued by a ruthless killer and specters from her past, Alice soon learns that for everything found, something precious must be lost.
