Detective Inspector Jack Lennon of the Belfast Police has watched the developing cooperation between Northern Ireland's Loyalist gangs and immigrant Lithuanian criminals with unease. The Lithuanians traffic women from Eastern Europe and Asia for the Loyalists' brothels, and they're all making big money in spite of the recession that has stopped Northern Ireland's peace boom in its tracks. Lennon has a more intimate knowledge of the city's brothels than he'll ever admit, but the surge in trafficked girls makes him question his lifestyle, especially considering he has his daughter, Ellen, to care for now. When a Lithuanian trafficker turns up dead on Christmas Eve with a shard of glass embedded in his throat, Lennon's plans to spend the holiday with Ellen are put in jeopardy. The dead man was the younger brother of a ruthless Lithuanian crime boss, Arturas Strazdas, and the young Ukrainian woman who killed him has escaped her captors. Now Strazdas holds the Loyalists responsible and won't let up until everyone involved has paid. A bloody gang war erupts across the city. Meanwhile, somewhere in Belfast, Galya, the Ukrainian girl, is running for her life, alone and scared, clinging to the darkest corners as the frozen streets empty for the holiday. Galya's captors told her how the police deal with illegal immigrants, that she is a criminal in a foreign land, and the law will not help her. And now she is also a murderer. She cannot be discovered by anyone, not the cops, not the gang who held her prisoner. There is only one person she can go to: a man she met on her first day as a prostitute, a friend who gave her a crucifix and an address to run to if she ever got away. He'd saved four prostitutes before her, he's told her, and she can be his fifth. But when Galya arrives at the address, she finds something more evil than she had ever imagined.

The dead are restless, and they’re reaching out to me whether I like it or not. I just wanted a fresh start, a new life in New Hampshire with my grandmother and cousin. But the ghosts that surround me have other plans. They’re haunting the halls of the nursing home where my cousin, Albie, and I have taken summer jobs. And they’re trying to tell me something, but I don’t know what it is. Staff members go missing and no one bats an eye. Seemingly healthy patients disappear on an off-limits floor of the home and no one wants to talk about it. The dead can’t talk, but they can show me so much, if I’m willing to let them. If I can’t figure out who or what is behind the disappearances, I’m afraid I could be the next one to go missing. My name is Casey Pope, and I see dead people. Casey is in a race against time. Missing people, stolen souls, and sinister forces may be too much for her to handle. Can she get to the bottom of the mysterious happenings in the strange and secretive nursing home before it’s too late?
