About the Book

A faked death, an obsessive stalker, an old man claiming he's being abused by the ghost of his late wife, and a devastating spectre from the past. The Skelfs are back in another explosive thriller, and this time things are more than personal...

' A new outing for the Skelfs deserves dancing in the streets of Edinburgh' Val McDermid

' Tense, funny and deeply moving' Mark Billingham

' A total delight to be returned to the dark, funny, compulsive world of the Skelfs ... Johnstone never fails to entertain whilst packing a serious emotional punch. Brilliant!' Gytha Lodge

________________________

Death is just the beginning...

The Skelf women live in the shadow of death every day, running the family funeral directors and private investigator business in Edinburgh. But now their own grief interwines with that of their clients, as they are left reeling by shocking past events.

A fist-fight by an open grave leads Dorothy to investigate the possibility of a faked death, while a young woman's obsession with Hannah threatens her relationship with Indy and puts them both in mortal danger. An elderly man claims he's being abused by the ghost of his late wife, while ghosts of another kind come back to haunt Jenny from the grave ... pushing her to breaking point.

As the Skelfs struggle with increasingly unnerving cases and chilling danger lurks close to home, it becomes clear that grief, in all its forms, can be deadly...
