From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Heather Graham comes a new story in her Krewe of Hunters series... Strange things are happening at Castle Darien, the legendary home of Angela Hawkins Crow's family just outside of Dublin, Ireland. People are dying in the most unusual ways: drowning where there's no water, falling from heights that don't exist... But before every death, the banshee lets out a cry, warning that loved ones are in danger. The Irish death ghost's haunting shrieks and sobs echo within the ancient stone walls and travel up and down the hillsides. Terrified and broken after the death of a friend, Moira Hawkins, Angela's second cousin, turns to her family for help, convinced that evil is at work and sure the Krewe of Hunters can determine what is happening and put an end to the strange and deadly haunting. Angela is mystified and stricken, but she and Jackson travel to the Emerald Isle to investigate, certain that someone very much alive is behind whatever is going on. But she and the Krewe just might need the dead to uncover the truth. **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it's an introduction to an author's world. And for fans, it's a bonus book in the author's series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

They only have each other to trust...

Each one packed to the brim with body parts. FDLE special agent Amy Larson and her partner, FBI special agent Hunter Forrest, share a bad feeling that extends beyond the horrifying nature of the grim discovery. They ve seen this kind of sadistic killing before, and when a small beige horse is discovered at the bottom of one of the barrels, they know exactly what it means. The fourth horseman of the apocalypse rides a pale horse and his name is Death."--Publisher's description.
