Plot

Late one summer night Melisende Dulac, apprentice mortician, is called out to perform a body removal from an area nursing home. At a remote crossroad, she comes upon a horrific car crash with multiple dead. Near the scene, Melisende trips over one survivor, a newborn girl lying a physics-defying distance from the wreckage. There is no one to claim the infant, nor even a clear indication she was even part of the crash. The baby is mystery enough, but when the crash victims' bodies are stolen from her family's mortuary, Melisende is quickly branded the best (and only) suspect in the theft. The only way to save herself is to figure out what really happened at the crossroad and how the catastrophe is linked to the unsavory past of the high desert community she's only just begun to think of as home.
