When Marnie Baranuik gets the call from her former boss at the Preternatural Crimes Unit that her unique skills are needed once more, she is understandably hesitant. When an old enemy warns that only death awaits her, Marnie's suspicions deepen. But her dear friend Declan is alone, trying to stake a dangerous revenant on a remote tropical island, and to make matters worse, the dead have been risen as graveside sentinels. Despite her fears, Marnie must set off to protect Declan and stake the revenant—but can she accept the help of ex-lover, Mark Batten, and will she succeed when her own internal struggles force her to transform into someone she barely recognizes? Can she wrestle her blossoming emotions when thrust together with a temporary bodyguard? Can she stay out of lock-up long enough to give Mark Batten the tongue-lashing he truly deserves?



When a face from her past reveals his intentions, more sinister reinforcements are summoned, and Marnie is toe-to-toe with Death Itself, will she finally stumble? Will this be Marnie Baranuik's final case, the last deadly File in her folder?
