Lively Deadmarsh

On December 31, 1981, high atop a snowy mountain peak in the rugged interior of British Columbia, Canada, ninety-eight beautiful people eat, drink, laugh, and dance inside the opulent grand ballroom of the Sinclair Resort Hotel. The clock strikes twelve, a cheer goes up and the music swells; balloons drop and streamers swirl. Then blackness... Fifteen seconds later, the power returns and every living soul inside the ballroom has vanished, never to be seen again. Now, forty years later, Preternatural Investigator Lively Deadmarsh and his psychic twin sister, Minerva, have been brought in to solve this decades-old mystery once and for all. Should they fail, they may become part of it, forever.

Katie Berry continues the interwoven saga of Lively and Minerva Deadmarsh and Chief Inspector John Harder in this second book in the Lively Deadmarsh series. Some questions are finally answered, but others arise as Lively and Minerva find the Sinclair Resort Hotel to be much more than it seems. In a bold attempt to uncover more of what transpired forty years before, the pair formulate a plan that will either help them immensely or doom them completely. Chief Inspector John Harder continues his official investigation to peel back the intricate web of mystery surrounding the Sinclair Incident. Along the way, he discovers that he may have a far greater role to play in things than he'd initially thought and that the stakes are more personal than he could have ever imagined.

The Sinclair Resort Hotel has many secrets. Some, it wants to share, and others it wants to keep buried deep. Lively and Minerva have discovered that they are connected to the hotel in more ways than one and that their involvement in the disappearance is more significant than they could have ever believed. John Harder and Amanda Jansen continue their investigation and find that things once thought buried beneath decades of sin and obscured by a century of corruption now have new life. Each must put aside their fears and doubts if they want to have any hope of solving the mystery of the Sinclair and help put to rest the horrors that lurk behind the hotel's thick stone walls.
