[A Rowan Gant Investigation 05] • Crone's Moon

THE SILENCE OF THE DEAD CAN BE DEAFENING

These are the things of which nightmares are made: Decomposed remains in a shallow grave, a missing school teacher, an abduction, and a cyclical timeline that all add up to a frightening theory - a sadistic serial killer may well be prowling Saint Louis by the semi-darkness of the waning moon.

This is exactly the type of case on which Rowan Gant would consult for the Major Case Squad. However, for some unknown reason his personal curse – the uncontrolled channeling of the spirits of murder victims – seems to be on indefinite hiatus. He can no longer communicate with the dead, but he’s absolutely certain they are still talking, because someone who is very close to him can hear them loud and clear.

The problem for Rowan is that this peculiar twist of fate makes the horror even more personal than before.
