Patrick Johnson never knew when to stop. As a steady helping hand, he knew that his own illustrious job lay ahead, should his course and search end on the other side of a small, sleepy town like Codiere. Being a traveling migrant, he attempts to start again as a hired-on groundskeeper, befriending a well-known family of the community, fitting in for once in his pallid life. But while he tries to plant new roots and brave his horrid past, he finds that being a caretaker of an eerily desolate cemetery has its life-ending drawbacks. Never mind the grim headstones silently marking death. Should the horror in his past be forgotten, all he has to do is clean the owner s basement. He soon becomes painfully aware that not all lost spirits prefer graveyards.
