The Gravedigger's Shadow

For eighteen years, Salomon Cross has buried the secrets of
Orange County six feet under. He’s used to the grim realities of the mortuary business, but he isn’t prepared for what’s waiting in a forgotten, chained-up vault.

When Salomon pockets a mysterious, glowing journal hidden
with a cache of stolen money, he accidentally awakens something ancient and hungry. The rules are deceptively simple: write a name, and the shadow takes them. But the book is a trap, and it refuses to remain empty.

Now, local true-crime disappearances and sudden, violent
tragedies are hitting far too close to home. With his coworkers being claimed by a relentless, creeping darkness, Salomon is forced into a frantic race against time. Caught between the flashing sirens of reality and a supernatural entity that can pull the air right out of his lungs, he must find a way to break his bond with the ledger before the earth claims him, too.
