Resumen del Editor

Who knows what horrors will be found when the tide recedes?

Last summer, Nick Caden became an internet celebrity for almost a whole day when he discovered Billy the Kid's killer in the "living" ghost town of Deadwood. (Not the real Billy the Kid - he's been dead for years.) When the owner of the Cool Ghoul Gazette learned of Nick's super sleuthing skills, he hired Nick to investigate the death of a vampire in Transylvania, North Carolina. (Not a real vampire - there are no such things, right?)

Then months later, only hours before the start of Savannah's Halloween night Zombie Crawl, Nick' investigates the rumors that one of the walking-dead comes alive during the event - only this time he brings along his sister. Moments before the pair is set to give up and leave the old fishing shack, a body floats up from the dark depths of the creek and snatches Wendy!

No one believes Nick when he claims that the corpse of Heidi May Laveau pulled his sister away in a canoe - even after Wendy proves impossible to find. But this body-snatcher has a message for Nick from "beyond the grave." Now he faces the difficult task of sorting fact from fiction as he seeks to discover the truth about the "walking dead."before his worst fears come true.

Written for the general market (G): Contains no; sexual dialogue or situations, violence, or strong language. While this murder mystery series discusses things like ghosts, vampires, and zombies, it does so without showing blood and gore. May also contain some content of an inspirational/religious nature.

Realistic and Scary

Nick Cade and his sister, Wendy, are killing time at the Palmetto Island dock while his parents attend a business dinner when a long-missing woman’s animated corpse — in other words, a zombie — drags away the canoe his sister is sitting in and disappears into the mist. When his parents learn she’s missing, they’re angry the pair didn’t stay put in the condo as instructed, and Officer McDonald thinks Wendy ran off to meet up with friends, even though she and Nick don’t know anyone on the island.

With the help of an island girl named Kat who speaks in a strange accent — “she had a funny way of making words interesting” — Nick visits a Gullah woman called Poke Salad Annie for help and plumbs the depths of Palmetto Island, but the real revelations come when an old case of Nick’s comes back from the dead.

Zane Van Wicklyn is a scarily talented young man whose voice, diction, and interpretation are well beyond his youthful years. He’s an inimitable narrator and fully brings Nick to life while also doing justice to the female voices of the story. This is an audiobook to enjoy over and over just to hear Zane’s delivery.

Amazing book!

I have been following this series, and this is the best by far! I just love the narrators voice and the voices he does, and the writing is just incredible. My kids and I loved listening to them!
