October brings a message from Beyond The Grave...
Halloween is fast approaching in the quiet Los Angeles County city of Vista Beach, home of computer programmer and tole-painting enthusiast Rory Anderson. While her painting chapter prepares to open its annual boutique house, Rory receives an unexpected email from Beyond The Grave, a company that automatically sends out messages when someone dies.
“I think I have a stalker,” the message reads. “If you’re reading this I’m either missing or dead. My life may depend on what you do. Please find out what happened to me.”
Haunted by her friend’s disappearance and possible death, Rory begins her search with the help of best friend and fellow painter, Liz Dexter. Can they discover who has designs on the missing woman and uncover the truth before one of them becomes the stalker’s next victim?


 A mysterious email causes alarm when it appears that a former child actress is missing or dead. Rory doesn't know why she received this email but ends up in the middle of another murder investigation after a body washes up almost at her feet.
A group of women is trying to raise money for a charitable cause with a Halloween themed benefit and escape room. Will it lend clues to the missing and murdered woman as well?
Meanwhile, someone is playing pranks on the town and they are increasing in their destructiveness. 
Getting involved in another investigation is not earning Rory any points with her dashing detective, either. 

So much is happening and somehow it all seems to be connected. Can Rory, with help of best friend, Liz figure it out before Halloween and before someone else is killed?

A complicated entangled mystery that will keep your interest all the way through.
