From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Heather Graham comes a new story in her Krewe of Hunters series… Halloween! Strange things are going to happen and every year, while loving the holiday, members of the Krewe of Hunters also dread it. Something somewhere is bound to happen. And it does. Krewe member Jon Dickson’s fiancée Kylie Connelly is contacted by an old friend who has just moved to Salem, Massachusetts, when the unimaginable happens as the holiday approaches.
