Third book in the Greywalker paranormal fantasy series set in Seattle, WA. Featuring Harper Blaine, a woman who becomes a Greywalker after having died for two minutes. She is able to go into the Greythe murky area between life and death, seeing ghosts other spirit-folk.

This story features a series of grisly killings of Seattles homeless community, where folks are showing up dead with body parts missing and having been quite literally chewed up. The murders, while being investigated, are not a high priority given the victims status, and are being written off as attacked by dogs and such. Harper gets involved with the case when Quinton, her friend who does her tech work, designed her security system, etc. asks her to investigate as he knew some of the people who have diedand others who have simply disappeared recently. He knows about Harpers abilities and thinks shes the perfect person to look into things, and as she has no pressing cases, she does. Plunging to the world of the homeless, the Seattle Underground, and learning much about a local Native American myth, Harper and Quinton make some startling discoveries.

This is the book where I think the author finally comes into her stride. Dont get me wrongI liked the first two books just fine, but I didnt really feel connected to Harper and there was an elusive something missing from them. Whatever that was, its now been found! This story sucked me in right away and I literally read this book in two sittings. I felt as though I finally got to really get into Harpers head, and the story wasnt just about her, it *was* her. Excellent!
