Amidst the trailing moss and blooming azaleas, a serial killer stalks Charleston, South Carolina. The city's unique world has spawned a rare murderer, the kind that leaves behind nothing that a CSI team can follow. Instead, or perhaps, because this is a historical city, the killer leaves behind one clue with each victim, a small artifact. These objects are touchstones of the dead - haunted by their owners. These ghosts link to a great conjurer from the Sea Islands of Georgia and South Carolina-the birthplace of Gullah, a Creole culture born of slavery and nurtured by the memories of the Old South. Native historians, Celeste and Regan chase the trail of the objects while Detective Sangster tracks the killer. Yet it is the ghosts that follow visiting psychic, Dawson Dudley, that reveal the sins of the past that created a present day killer that must be stopped.
