Nothing's been the same for Beth Teller since she died. Her dad is the only one who has been able to see and hear her since the accident, and he's drowning in grief. But now they have a mystery to solve, a mystery Beth hopes will remind her detective father that he needs to reconnect with the living. The case takes them to a remote Australian town, where there's been a suspicious fire. All that remains are an unidentifiable body and an unreliable witness found wandering nearby. This witness speaks in riddles. Isobel Catching has a story to tell, and it's a tail to haunt one's dreams, but does it even connect to the case at hand? As Beth and her father struggle through an investigation marked by conflicting clues and missing suspects, Catching's tale begins to take on unexpected meaning, both for the case and for them personally.
