In the shadows of a Scottish castle, something deadly is lurking in every corner…

When FBI special agent Luke Kendrick discovers chilling evidence of dozens of victims at a crime scene in London, he recognizes the calling card of the notorious H.H. Holmes Society. Named for the nineteenth-century monster regarded as America’s first serial killer, the society is comprised of a twisted web of killers, working to carry out heinous murders in Holmes’s memory. And now the group’s been linked to a Scottish castle turned B and B—where guests check in but never check out.

Arriving at the sinister Graystone Castle posed as a tourist, Luke is joined by Special Agent Carly MacDonald, and the pair is immediately confronted by dangers hidden in the castle’s depths. With guests disappearing and a network of killers closing in, Luke and Carly have only each other to rely on—and they’ll have to race to cut off the head of the snake before the blood trail of the past can culminate in a very real and deadly present.

Heather Graham

Heather Graham

Heather Graham doesn’t just write stories—she builds haunted landscapes where history lingers and danger hides in plain sight. With a career spanning over three decades and more than 200 novels to her name, she has become a distinct voice in the realm of romantic suspense and paranormal thrillers. Her worlds are layered with eerie charm: think Civil War ghosts, cursed artifacts, and FBI agents navigating crimes that don’t quite follow the rules of reality.

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Graham’s fascination with the strange and supernatural took root early, shaped by a rich backdrop of folklore, Southern Gothic atmosphere, and a deep love of theater. Before becoming a full-time novelist, she worked as an actress and a singer, and that flair for performance still pulses through her writing—dialogue that crackles, pacing that never drags, and scenes that feel made for the screen.

What sets her work apart is how effortlessly she blends suspense with the spectral. In her long-running Krewe of Hunters series, for example, law enforcement collides with the paranormal, creating a tense, often unsettling blend of crime-solving and ghostly encounters. Her characters are rarely just investigators—they’re believers, skeptics, survivors, and sometimes even mediums, each carrying their own shadows into the story.

Recognition has followed her quietly prolific output: Graham has landed on The New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists multiple times, and she’s a recipient of the Romance Writers of America’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Yet despite the accolades, her work remains deeply grounded in the idea that human emotion—love, fear, loss—is what gives both mystery and magic their weight.

Whether she’s weaving a tale set in the sultry streets of New Orleans or a colonial mansion in Virginia, Graham’s stories linger where the past refuses to stay buried, and where every creak in the floorboards might mean something more.
