Tucked away in northeastern Vermont, picturesque Askergan County is the perfect place for a winter vacation - for the lucky few who know about it. Askergan is so peaceful, crime so nonexistent, that they don't even have a full-time police force, just a Sheriff and two deputies who spend most of their time dishing out parking tickets and breaking up the occasional bar fight. But that was before the storm.

To Senior Medical Examiner Dr. Beckett Campbell, the Hippocratic Oath has always been more of a suggestion than a guiding principle....

Thirty years ago, four-year-old Georgina Adams was kidnapped from a fair in Franklin, Tennessee. She was taken away from her sister, her parents, her community. Neither she nor the people who knew her were ever the same again. This is her story.

Stay out of trouble, they said. Lay low until things blow over, they suggested. Sound advice for Senior Medical Examiner Dr. Beckett Campbell, considering he was found hovering over the body of accused serial killer Craig Sloan, a bloody rock in his hand.

It doesn't help that there's something strange happening on the island, something that has to do with bitter drinks and bikinis.

Thirty years ago, four children went missing from rural Tennessee. FBI Special Agent Chase Adams' sister was one of them. She's been searching for her ever since. Now, after more than three decades of silence, seven-year-old Stacy Peterson's bike is found at the end of her driveway. Only problem is that Stacy isn't riding it. When her abduction is linked to three other girls who vanished into thin air, Chase fears this is the start of another kidnapping spree. It doesn't take long for her to be convinced these cases are related, despite being separated by more than a quarter century.

FBI Agent Chase Adams has hit rock bottom. Found in a rock quarry in Virginia, Chase is battered, bruised, and clinging to life. It takes the collective efforts of the few people she hasn't burned to drag her back to the land of the living and make sure that she stays there. But their efforts aren't entirely altruistic. While Chase undoubtedly needs her colleagues, the FBI also needs her.

Nearly two dozen girls are found dead in a shipping container on the shores of New York City. No one knows where they came from or how they got there. But one man is compelled to find out why they died, no matter the cost.... Ex-NYPD detective Damien Drake has no business meddling in a police case, especially with what happened on the last one.

Although they somehow, against all odds, managed to survive, they are left with more questions than answers. And things are about to get more complicated when the police start to inquire about all the missing bodies....

No rest for the wicked; as Seaforth sinks, Cal and Shelly waste no time getting back at it. With Allan's technological expertise, they desperately try to find a less personal way to send the dead back to where they belong. But they soon find out that it's not just the dead that they have to worry about; they've made enemies among the living as well, vengeful enemies that are hell-bent on extracting their pound of flesh.

Robert, Shelly, and Cal barely made it out of the Seventh Ward with their lives, let alone their sanity. But now, flush with cash, they have settled into a comfortable routine. Underlying it all, however, are nagging questions that continue to bother all three, questions that can't be ignored once Robert starts experiencing dreams - dreams of a prison isolated on an island with ties to Leland Black. Before long, he comes to the uncomfortable conclusion that their encounters with ghosts are only the beginning.

Beckett knows he should ignore the ignominious words of a previously unknown pastor that find their way into his inbox. He also knows that it's not just the wrath of a man in cloth he risks infuriating should he decide to investigate, but changing his vacation is guaranteed to piss off his girlfriend, Suzan Cuthbert. But extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and Beckett refuses to let anyone make a mockery of his profession, especially not a snake oil salesman sporting a glorified nightie.

The twisted DNR Group is free to pursue their brutal agenda without opposition. What they didn't count on, however, is someone unexpected stepping up and trying to put a stop to them.

Before he can wrap his head around what, exactly, he's gotten into, Beckett finds himself tangled in a messy web of lies, deceit, and most importantly of all, relationship troubles.

A grieving Robert Watts has little down time. Though he now has a house to live in, and friends new and old to join him, his financial woes have not been resolved.

Only this time, it's not a haunted estate that they are commissioned to purge, but an abandoned hospital ward.

And that was before this new brand of heroin became available. The war against drugs might be a losing battle, but if someone doesn't do something soon, there'll be no one left to fight for.
