Description

When social worker Hildy Schneider commits to an after-hours side job, she finds herself drawn into the darker side of small-town Sorenson, Wisconsin—and the twisted mind of an unnamed killer . . .
 
Strange things have been happening since Hildy started moonlighting with local police, but a desperate late-night call involving a former patient from Sorenson General Hospital tops the list. Although Danny Hildebrand has been tormented by hallucinations for years, he swears he’s being haunted for real by the victim of a grisly murder . . .
 
The rambling ghost story seems like another delusion. But after a body turns up in a neglected farmhouse crawling with secrets, Hildy and the magnetic Detective Bob Richmond rush to explain Danny’s knowledge of the incident. As the crime-solving partners unwittingly grow closer while examining a series of eerie leads, they realize that surviving past sunrise means shedding light on a criminal willing to do whatever it takes to stay in the shadows . . .
 
Praise for Annelise Ryan and her Mattie Winston series

“The funniest deputy coroner to cut up a corpse since, well, ever!”
—Laura Levine, author of Killer Cruise

“The forensic details will interest Patricia Cornwell readers . . . while the often slapstick humor and the blossoming romance between Mattie and Hurley will draw Evanovich fans.”
Booklist
 
 “Has it all: suspense, laughter, a spicy dash of romance.”
New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen
 
“[Ryan] smoothly blends humor, distinctive characters, and authentic forensic detail.”

Featured Reviews

Hildy Schneider has begun her second job as liaison with the police department. Working by day as a psychologist in the emergency room, by night she rides along with a police officer in a new grant funded position. This is the second book in the series. Hildy has come into her own and she and her therapy dog, a Golden Retriever named Roscoe, ride along each night helping the police to deal with those who are struggling with mental illness. And, of course, to help solve murders. Hildy first helps Danny, a man who has become unstable. Hildy's met him before in the emergency room and fears he's off his medications. She's troubled that he appears to be having visual hallucinations, imagining the ghost of a man who's been killed. Later the policeman and Hildy are called to do a welfare check where they discover a man who has committed suicide. Or did he? Hildy can't leave it alone and uncovers a much bigger crime. A good mystery with nice character development. I can't wait for the next one. #netgally #nightshift
