Description
NEVER ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEAD.
NEVER STRAY FROM HALLOWED GROUND.
NEVER GET CLOSE TO THE HAUNTED.
NEVER, EVER TEMPT FATE.
My father’s rules.
I’ve never broken them…until now.
My name is Amelia Gray. I’m a cemetery restorer who sees ghosts. In order to protect myself from the parasitic nature of the dead, I’ve always held fast to the rules passed down from my father. But now a haunted police detective has entered my world and everything is changing, including the rules that have always kept me safe.
It started with the discovery of a young woman’s brutalized body in an old Charleston graveyard I’ve been hired to restore. The clues to the killer—and to his other victims— lie in the headstone symbolism that only I can interpret. Devlin needs my help, but his ghosts shadow his every move, feeding off his warmth, sustaining their presence with his energy. To warn him would be to invite them into my life. I’ve vowed to keep my distance, but the pull of his magnetism grows ever stronger even as the symbols lead me closer to the killer and to the gossamer veil that separates this world from the next.

Advance Praise
“I love this book! Amanda Stevens' Restorer gives the reader a fascinating character—who
interacts with more fascinating characters! Ms. Stevens has managed the difficult feat of
combining
charm and chills.”
New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Heather
Graham on The Restorer.
“Stevens makes her MIRA debut with this taut, disturbing story. The characterizations are vivid, and it’s got a lovely twist in the tail. Not for the squeamish!”
—RT Book Reviews on The Dollmaker
“Faced paced and plotted with spectacular precison and guile, this is undiluted suspense at its very fi nest. Nervous readers should read it in full daylight.”
—RT Book Reviews on The Devil’s Footprints
“Stevens’ swiftly-moving, intricately plotted story has oodles of twists and chills—plus a jaw-dropping shocker of an ending. This is good stuff indeed.”
—RT Book Reviews on The Whispering Room
