Psychiatrist Kenny Lawson receives a call from his time-traveling Great Aunt Delilah to help investigate a mysterious murder in 1955 Charleston where a man was liquified. Kenny has reason to believe the killer is Lucas Mobley—who died in 1919 and who's spirit Delilah had previously used to protect her family. Kenny discovers the murder they are investigating is only one of 55 murders committed against men who had participated in Charleston's 1919 Race Riot.

Description


Psychiatrist Kenny Lawson is in for a surprise when he receives a call from his time-traveling Great Aunt Delilah! Delilah is in 1955 with a main who reports witnessing an evil spirit dissolve a human being. At his great aunt's request, Kenny time-travels from 2019 Philadelphia back to 1955 Charleston to help Delilah solve this mystery. After interviewing the witness, and using his own previous experiences with spirits, Kenny has reason to believe the killer is Lucas Mobley—who died in 1919 and who's spirit Delilah had previously used to protect her family. Lucas's spirit had escaped Delilah and has become a thing that southerners believed moves at night and can possess people; a haint. Returning to 2019, Kenny discovers the murder they are investigating is only one of 55 murders committed against men who had participated in Charleston's 1919 Race Riot. The murders had remained unsolved over the years, spawning macabre new folklore and paranoia that rippled out all the way to contemporary Philadelphia. But folklore wasn't the only ripple in time caused by these strange new killings… Now it's up to Kenny to travel back to the past, stop the murders before they ever happen, and undo the changes to history the haint has caused. But ensnaring a haint 64 years in the past isn't easy, and Kenny winds up putting his own life on the line—as well as his family's— as the mystery gets ever more complicated the more Kenny digs. Perfect for fans of series like "The Twilight Zone", "Supernatural", "The Dresden Files", or "American Horror Stories"! This thrilling supernatural mystery will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the end!
