"Three sips to mind the dead..." Rebekkah Barrow used to watch her grandmother, Marlene, as she performed the same unusual ritual at every funeral: 3 sips from a silver flask and spoke the words "Sleep well, and stay where I put you." And there wasn't a funeral that Maylene didn't attend in Claysville. Now Maylene is gone and Bek is back. She soon discovers that Claysville is not the sleepy town she remembers, and that Marlene had good reason for her old tradition. The worlds of the living and the dead are dangerously connected; beneath the town lies a shadowy, lawless land ruled by the enigmatic Charles, aka Mr. D. If the dead are not properly cared for, they will come back....
