The Library: Where Life Checks Out

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The plot is intricate, yet easy to follow... The paranormal aspect is well done. While not the central focus, the ghosts offer just enough to give Mark — and readers — something to think about." — Goodreads

In 1934, the body of a beautiful but impoverished young woman was discovered by the riverbank near The Depot. Brutally beaten and barely identifiable except for a tattoo on her ankle, her story vanished just as quickly as it surfaced.

Eighty years later, locals whisper that The Depot is haunted. But in all the years homicide detective Mark Waters has visited the historic 1800s train station turned restaurant, he’s never seen proof. Until now.

While investigating what seems like a suicide by train, Mark unearths connections to a murder from eight decades past — a murder that may have direct ties to his current case.

Six months after the eerie events at The Depot, another murder occurs. This time, it’s The Library that hides secrets of multiple killings, and the restless dead won't be at peace until the murderer is checked out — permanently.

Note: The Library (Where Life Checks Out) is a 50k-word follow-up novel to The Depot (When Life and Death Cross Tracks), which is included in this special edition so readers who haven't read The Depot won't miss anything.
