Anthropologist Olivia West never believed in monsters-until her best friend Emma disappears after returning to the place that haunts their childhood memories: Heaven's Bottom, a hidden Kentucky town shrouded in mist and secrets. As children, Olivia and Emma stumbled into the secluded town and left with chilling, impossible memories. Emma believes they witnessed a ritual sacrifice and the undead. Olivia, ever the skeptic, is determined to find the truth-and Emma. Detective Steven Lewis has his own reasons to investigate Heaven's Bottom. His wife died under suspicious circumstances while running her own investigation of the town. Officially, it was a wild animal attack. Steven knows better. When Olivia and Steven team up, their uneasy alliance ignites a spark neither expected. But they're not the only ones with a stake in the town's dark past. Sheriff Noah McCracken-sworn to protect Heaven's Bottom's legacy-warns Olivia to leave. Old tensions flare into dangerous chemistry, and a rivalry is born. As buried secrets claw to the surface, science and superstition collide. Can Olivia trust either man? Will Steven and Noah put aside their feud to save her-or will the town's undead past claim more victims?SPECIAL BONUS: As a reader appreciation gift, the short story Gimlet is included FREE at the end of the book. The Shaken, Not Stirred, mystery/horror story takes place after A Pink Zombie, with a Mist.
