A citys haunted history and fairy-tale horrors converge for two women in an addictive novel of psychological suspense by a multiple Bram Stoker Awardnominated author.
Sisters Anna and Jennie live in a historic bungalow on the Chicago River. Theyre tethered to a disquieting past, and with nowhere else to go, nothing can part them from their family home. Not the maddening creaks and disembodied voices that rattle the old walls. Not the inexplicable drownings in the area, or the increasing number of bodies that float by Annas window.
To stave off loneliness, Anna has a podcast, spinning ghostly tales of Chicagos tragic history. But when Anna captures the attention of an ardent male listener, she awakens to the possibilities of a world outside.
As their relationship grows, so do Jennies fears. More and more people are going missing in the river. And then two detectives come calling.
Theyre looking for a link between the mysteries of the river and whats housed on the bank. Even Anna and Jennie dont understand how dreadful it isand still can bewhen the truth about their unsettled lives begins to surface.
