A Requiem for Revenge

The crypt located on Row 2 Column 6 at Greenview Cemetery Mausoleum has been disintegrated. The coffin once interred inside the crypt now lies empty on the concrete floor of the vault. Its wood is cracked and shattered. The shredded satin lining of the coffin appears as though fingernails clawed through the fabric. The body of recently entombed Bradley Cavanaugh isn't inside.

Dead men can't escape their graves and walk away, can they?

Sheriff Nick Dunn of the Carter County Sheriff's Office doesn't believe in the supernatural. He's convinced the creepy incident is an act of vandalism carried out by a gang of juvenile delinquents. When the missing body fails to turn up in a search of the cemetery, Dunn opens his investigation into the macabre and bizarre case.

Through Patrice Cavanaugh, widow of the deceased, and her sister, Gabby Morgan, Dunn learns that Bradley Cavanaugh was an aggressive, abusive alcoholic who had multiple enemies in life. Is it possible that one of them stole his body from the grave as retribution for the wrath and vicious behavior Cavanaugh subjected them to while he was still alive? Or was the body stolen for more sinister reasons by someone intending to use it to terrorize Patrice and drive her insane?

As Dunn's investigation brings him closer to the culprit behind the disappearance of Cavanaugh's body, he realizes that Patrice is the one who's in grave danger. Someone extremely close to her hated Bradley Cavanaugh passionately and swore the day would come when she'd get her revenge against him for destroying her life. Did that day finally arrive, and is Patrice an intended victim or only collateral damage?

When Dunn encounters the horrific truth behind the body's disappearance, the experience brings him face to face with unadulterated evil, and a realism that's too unbelievable to be true.
