Only the Dead Within (The Grave Diggers, Bk. 2)

A twisty mystery-suspense novel blending gothic elements and procedural investigation in a small Michigan town.

In Only the Dead Within, the quiet town of Gold Creek, Michigan — infamous for its missing persons cases, unsolved murders, and the ominous presence of the Gold Memorial Gardens funeral home and cemetery — is once again shrouded in fear. When yet another teen vanishes, Child Protective Services Investigator Claire Underwood refuses to relent. For Claire, this case is personal: years earlier, she lost a close friend to the very cemetery now at the heart of the mystery. As she navigates sinister secrets, eerie folklore, and potential corruption tied to the wealthy Gold family, Claire must unravel the truth before another life slips away.
