Beacon: A Dana Reeves Novel
Some lights should never come back on.
Dana Reeves lost her brother in Alaska. She got a piece of him back. Now what’s left of Jared rides in the attic of her mind, a psychic passenger who speaks in two-word flashes, when he speaks at all. The shadow bureau that cleaned up the wreckage calls her a sensitive and puts her on the payroll. Dana calls it the only lead she has left.
Her first St. Augustine, 1990. A woman drowned at the top of a locked lighthouse — bone dry, 219 steps up, in a dead tower whose light burned for seven impossible minutes the night she died.
The oldest city in America is stacked four centuries deep with drownings, saints, and ghost tours, and something underneath it has learned to kill without ever leaving the water. The alibis hold. The bodies keep filling with seawater they never touched. And the deeper Dana follows the case into the dark, the fainter her brother’s voice gets, until she has to decide what she’s really listening for.
Quirky, creepy, and crackling with psychic dread, Beacon is a supernatural-noir thriller for fans of The X-Files, Widow’s Bay, and Control.
BEACON is Book Two of the Stray Files. Before St. Augustine, there was the case that cracked Dana’s world open and put her brother in her head is Polarity — start there, or dive straight into the deep end. Each case stands on its own.
