“Family secrets hang heavy as Florida heat in this Southern Gothic ghost story, where lies burn like salt water—and what lurks at the bottom of the swamp won’t lie dormant forever. Hauntingly captivating, the warped halls of this mystery brim with cinematic prose, the dark heart of family legacy, and, of course, the whispers of the dead.” —Ande Pliego, USA Today bestselling author of The Library After Dark
