Jazzy Beckett touches a skeletal hand that is sticking out of a riverbank…and all at once, she is lost to the owner of that hand, a girl named Carolyn Crossley, also known as CC.
CC was murdered back in the 60's by a man named Max Trumain. Now it is up to Jazzy's husband Richard to find Max Trumain. But if Richard fails, then Jazzy will die. No ifs, no buts. CC will drown Jazzy in the river. Jazzy who is pregnant, if only just, and expecting the child that she and Richard have always wanted.
With no time to spare, Richard sets out on a journey that draws him into an ever-darkening world of death and love.
Love that has been stolen…by the dead.
