An Unquiet Grave
(P. J. Parrish)
Cold, harsh Michigan instead of the warmth of Florida for the Thanksgiving holiday ? not exactly what former cop turned private investigator Louis Kincaid would prefer. But a curious note begging him to return is too tempting to pass up and he soon finds himself journeying back to his childhood home, struggling to mend the chasm between his foster parents.He soon finds that his foster father, Phillip, has been tending to a grave behind his wife?s back for the past sixteen years. Instead of the ?old army buddy? that he has always claimed it to be, it turns out to be the grave of an old girlfriend who died in the sanitarium on the edge of town?a girlfriend that might well have been unwillingly taken away from her home and left against her will.Hidden Lake Sanitarium is being closed, and the nearby cemetery being relocated. When Claudia Olsen?s grave is opened, instead of a body, the casket is filled with rocks. At the desperate pleading of Phillip, Louis begins his long and twisted search for her body?a search that leads him from Claudia?s mysteriously uncaring family to the dark halls of the sanitarium and even darker tunnels beneath. During this trek, he discovers that those who purported to care for the people in the sanitarium might well have contributed to the creation of a monster. With almost no help from a former doctor at the sanitarium, who seems to be involved than she would like to admit, Louis digs through unpleasant memories and sparse records that he should not legally have access to. Armed with very little knowledge of what actually happened, Louis begins a deep, dark journey into the mind of a madman?one that has been on the loose for years and appears to be sinking further into depraved insanity.
