It has been six months since Emily Ross disappeared on a cold winter day while walking to her class at the University of Oregon. It has been six months without clues, without leads, without hope.

Detective Ellis Frazier is desperate. He knows it is only a matter of time before the investigation ends up as a cold case, dead and forgotten forever. At the end of his career, and his rope, he is willing to try anything.

A world populated by ghosts.
