The Come Back

A young man vanishes into the frozen wilds of Labrador, and his father Benjamin Crane cannot accept the silence. Turning to spiritualism in his grief, Benjamin becomes convinced he can reach his lost son across the veil. But when one of Peter's expedition companions returns poisoned, and the medium Madame Parlato's honesty comes into question, the search for truth takes a sinister turn. Detective Pennington Wise and his unusual assistant Zizi must separate the supernatural from the criminal, navigating a world where desperate grief and cold-blooded murder wear the same haunted face. Carolyn Wells weaves adventure, romance, and supernatural dread into a propulsive mystery that asks what we believe when the truth is too terrible to face. The prophecy that has hung over Peter Crane since childhood finally collides with the present danger, and not everyone will survive the revelation of what really happened on that frozen coast.
