Dying to Know

Detective Oliver Tucker's dead-murdered-and back as an earth-bound spirit to help his wife, Professor Angela Tucker, crack the most important case of his life-his own. But this is not a ghost story; it's a murder case. Tuck knows why he is back among the living, but not one of them-Detective Solve Thyself. Perhaps he was murdered because of his last case-a murder involving a retired mob boss, a local millionaire land developer, a New York hitman, and the local university elite. Or could it be that Bear Braddock, his best friend and partner for more than fifteen years, wants Angela? Tuck knows that everything surrounds Kelly's Dig, where the discovery of Civil War graves may put an end to a multi-million dollar highway project. If it does, who stands to gain the most? Enough to kill? Using his unique skills, Tuck weaves through half-truths and generations-old lies chasing a madman. And he's not alone-others, dead and alive-are hunting the same killer. Still, nothing can change the truth-it is the living, not the dead, who are most terrifying.
