Drexel, Mississisppi is a tiny town where everyone knows everyone else and no one forgets anything. Jade Dupree, a beautiful beautician who helps prepare the dead for funerals, will never belong, even though she has lived her entire life in Drexel, for Jade is the half-black, unacknowledged daughter of society queen Lucille Longier. Dead people often tell Jade things, but it is the still-living who cause problems and bring fear and violence into the community. When Jade's lovely, but troubled, white sister Marlena is brutally assaulted and her niece Susanna is kidnapped, Jade seeks out sheriff's deputy, Frank Kimble to help save her family. But Frank lives with ghosts of his own.
A haunting mystery with a ghostly Southern twist.
