From acclaimed author Robert Brighton comes a sweeping saga of passion, mystery, honor, and intrigue in "an epic in miniature" which combines Gothic romance, resurrection of the dead, and unrequited love into a dazzling unity that even death itself cannot put asunder. This "achingly beautiful story" with compelling clues and buried secrets will prove irresistible to uncover.

Serene Forest Lawn Cemetery is a place of eternal rest-until corpses go missing and young, pretty Mary Carkriff falls in with a group of international smugglers, led by Smuggler King George Eberly. Handsome, commanding George-a Civil War hero who brought home a bad leg and a headful of bad memories-soon finds Mary irresistible.

One day, Mary is surprised to witness something very strange going on in the cemetery and decides to investigate . . . and soon it seems that everyone, from the local police to the city's all-powerful Anatomical Board, will do anything to prevent the ghastly truth from being uncovered.

Before long, no one is safe at Forest Lawn-not even its dead-and heiress Georgia Moffatt and her devoted right-hand man Christian Schamber join forces with George and Mary to exorcise the demons that threaten Forest Lawn. This unlikely foursome-and a supporting cast of unforgettable characters-are quickly drawn into an unholy underworld of pride, plunder . . . and murder.

A story of romance, greed, grave robbery, mystery, love, Gothic creepiness, and a bit of humor, The Phantom of Forest Lawn will keep you guessing until its final, explosive twist.
