Morgan Knight, law enforcement widow, security company owner and sheriff's department consultant on occult activities, has her vacation interrupted by her mother, who is determined to track down the source of the unusual grimoire that was found during Morgan's previous adventure. Just as the search heats up, her estranged brother Eric contacts her for the first time in twenty years and asks for her help in uncovering what exactly is going on in his new house. He refuses to believe it is haunted, despite evidence to the contrary. Morgan has friends to call on to help her solve the mystery of her brother's house, but when she uncovers a cult's instructions on how to perform human sacrifice during the Solstice, local law enforcement dismisses her claims. As the Solstice grows ever nearer, Morgan feels impelled to stop the ceremony... no matter the cost. The second book in Jo Beekman's Morgan Knight Mysteries series, 'Faded Children' is a look at how mystery can touch even the most ordinary of people, and how uncovering secrets can be dangerous... and maybe even deadly.
