About the book
Second glance: A developer has targeted an ancient Indian burial ground for a mall, and now strange happenings have the inhabitants of Comtosook, Vermont, talking of supernatural forces at work. Ross Wakeman is a ghost hunter who's never seen a ghost - all he's searching for is something to end the pain of losing his fiancee Aimee in a car accident eight years ago. Now Ross lives only for a way to connect with Aimee from beyond. Searching the site for signs of the paranormal, Ross meets the mysterious Lia, who sparks him into life for the first time in years.
