Janis Bogue

After an unforgivable mistake almost costs his partner his life, Officer AJ Bugbee limps back home, where he lives quietly, helping out at his parents' fish market, doing routine work on a sleepy, small-town police force and trying to get his head on straight. His biggest problem is the pressure from his childhood friends, stars of a public-access ghost hunting show, to become a believer. The welcome quiet doesn't last. A man dies while investigating a famously haunted house. The absent owner of the place, long suspected of killing a teenage girl there, makes a surprise return. And then another girl vanishes. As AJ digs into an increasingly weird tangle of deaths and disappearances, he realizes that protecting the people he loves will take everything he's got. Even, or maybe especially, the very thing he's been trying to run away from.
