Insp. Terry Connor turns up on David Hunter’s doorstep, it’s an unwelcome reminder of the past in more ways than one. They had once worked together, recovering the victims of a serial killer on the bleak expanse of Dartmoor in Southern England. When Terry’s behavior caused a bitter rift, the partnership ended. But now the serial killer—a psychotic rapist and murderer named Jerome Monk—has escaped from high-security prison. And he seems to be targeting anyone involved with the search.

As he is drawn back into Jerome’s twisted world, David discovers that nothing about the original case was what it seemed. And as the maniac’s bloody trail edges ever closer, David is forced to question who he can really trust.

Book excerpt: In this paranormal mystery series opener, a young woman with a gift for finding corpses helps an FBI agent investigate a serial killer. There had been no attempt to bury the dead girl, naked except for the white ribbon tied to her wrist . . . Twenty-five-year-old Julie Hall has a unique ability: when she takes up a dowsing rod, she finds not water but bodies. To Julie, it's a curse, not a gift, and one she rarely uses—she prefers her quiet life in a trailer, with her grandfather and her dog for company. But when FBI agent Garrett Pierce shows up at her door seeking help with a case, she has no choice but to assist with their search. Three girls are still missing. The killer is still out there. As bodies are discovered and more girls disappear, the case becomes almost more than Julie can bear. And when the killer turns his sights toward her, even her growing relationship with the protective Agent Garrett may not be enough to save her. Praise for A Grave Calling “Readers who pat themselves on the back for being able to anticipate twists may find themselves one-upped here. Roberts imbues Hall with a likable pluck and grit. She has a deft, witty touch. . . . There is genuine suspense as the danger hits close to home, and Hall and Pierce make for an arresting team. Readers of this taut mystery don’t need dowsing rods to detect series potential.” —Kirkus Review
