Synopsis

Connor Hawthorne and Laura Nez travel to Boston to attend the funeral of Catherine Pettigrew, the mother of Connor's college friend and former lover Grace. Connor's attention, however, is quickly diverted by the presence of her own mother, Amanda, with whom Connor has not spoken in years. Matters take a horrifying turn when the limousine carrying Amanda and Grace's aunt, Florence Pettigrew, careens off the Fore River Bridge and plunges into the water, killing all the occupants. Joining forces to investigate the deaths of Catherine, Florence, and Amanda is the stalwart cast from the previous Connor Hawthorne mysteries, including Connor's father, Benjamin; FBI agent Ayalla Franklin; and Washington, D.C., police captain Malcolm Jefferson. As the crew digs deeper and deeper, their investigation reveals a special gift shared by the Pettigrew women, dependent upon a mysterious and powerful pendant, for which everyone from a flashy funeral home director to a hired hit man to one of Hitler's own cronies is willing to risk their lives. What is the nature of the amulet called le voleur d'ames (literally, the thief of souls) and can Connor harness its energy before those who might use it for evil? As Connor and Laura discover, the future of humankind hangs in the balance.
