Just because Grave Witch Alex Craft can speak to the dead, doesn't mean she has to like what they have to say... As a private investigator and consultant for the police, Alex has seen a lot of dark magic. Alex is investigating a high-profile murder when she's attacked by the ghost she is raising - which should be impossible.

After a month spent recovering from a vicious fight with a sorcerer, Grave Witch Alex Craft is ready to get back to solving murders by raising the dead. With her love life in turmoil thanks to the disappearance of FBI agent Falin Andrews and Death's shocking 'L word' confession, Alex is eager for the distractions of work.

A string of suicides accur in Nekros City and Alex Craft is hired to investigate. The shades have no memory of the days leading up to their brutal endings, so despite the very public apparent suicides, this is murder. But what kind of magic can overcome the human will to survive? And why do the shades lack the memory of their deaths?

If you want to hear voices from the dead in Nekros City, you call Alex Craft. She's a Grave Witch with reasonable rates and extraordinary powers, who specializes in revealing the secrets of the dead. But now she's the one fighting to keep her own secret.
