Appalachian Book of the Dead

By Dale Neal

Angel Garcia Jones vanished into the deep woods of Yonah, North Carolina, leaving a trail of murders-- and a lingering, spectral presence. Newcomers Cal and Joy McAlister, seeking to rebuild their lives, find themselves drawn into the mountain's shadows. Cal, a retired trader and recovering alcoholic, wrestles with restlessness; Joy, a potter and former physical therapist, seeks reinvention. Their handyman, Doyle Smathers, tends to Ainsley Morse, a young woman meditating in solitude to escape her own demons. As secrets surface and past crimes echo through the mountains, these lives collide in a haunting tale of grief, ghosts, and the darkness that refuses to die.
