Ashes to Ashes

Two months after a shift in her relationship with Dex Foray, Perry Palomino is settling into a new life in Seattle. Their show, Experiment in Terror, has a third member now, Rebecca Sims, a former Wine Babe, and its audience has grown. The calm does not last, because the madness keeps finding a way back into their lives.

The team is sent to the stormy Oregon coast to investigate a haunted school. Perry sees the trip as a chance to see her family again and to introduce Dex to them.

Other plans are already under way. Her grandmother Pippa has begun appearing to her with disturbing warnings, and Perry's arrival at the school has stirred up fresh supernatural activity.

A century ago the building served as a sanatorium for children dying of tuberculosis. Its former residents are now slowly returning, and they want company: someone to play with, someone to stay with them forever.

The book is a paranormal horror story with a haunted-house setting and a growing sense of dread. The ghosts are children, and the one they have chosen is Perry.
