But the ghost of Dominic Frost proves it’s possible, and he immediately begs her to help find his killer. Unfortunately, the local playboy left behind a long list of scorned lovers, with ample motives to kill.

Graves loves his job. Even if there’s no sick leave, no paid vacation, and no benefits, there’s one thing ghost hunting has above every other occupation: killing. And a whole lot of it.

But in this first outing in the Graves series, the titular terror can’t just maim and gore his way to victory. While investigating a Nazi’s haunted mansion sounded simple and expected at first, it ends up being anything but.
