The Sand Wraith

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Some secrets refuse to stay buried.

When seventeen-year-old Charlie Trenowden tells police there’s a body buried in the Arizona desert, he becomes the prime suspect in a murder he didn’t commit.

The problem is, the dead told him where to look.

Inherited from his Cornish grandmother and passed down through generations of women in his family, Charlie’s gift for communicating with spirits has always been more burden than blessing. Now it’s about to destroy his life.
