Savannah, Georgia, attracts tourists interested in antebellum architecture, Southern grace, and storied ghosts. But the city also has a dark side, one that tour guides don't talk about: high crime, brutal poverty, and a legacy of official deception and hypocrisy extending back for generations.Three teenaged girls are brutally murdered in an abandoned house--the same house where reporter Rosalie Lawler disappeared five years ago. Now Rosalie's friend and colleague, Rachel Carver, is about to become obsessed with the house and the bad part of town where it stands. She'll wade through legend and history, myth and memory, and ultimately risk everything to penetrate the secrets of 616 Yamasee Street.Savannah is a city built on the bones of its dead. But its dead are growing restless...
