Inherited Nightmares

As a brutal winter settles over Albuquerque in November 2004, eighteen-year-old archaeology student and gifted burglar Therese Monet would rather spend her days buried in forgotten history than talking to people. She found an unlikely home among the residents of the Juniper House in Nob Hill. When a celebrated local developer threatens to force everyone onto the street, a confrontation ends with the man dead.

Enter Keziah Darkholme, a nineteen-year-old reanimated corpse who would prefer not to draw attention to the fact that he technically died and came back wrong. As he rents a room in the Juniper House, Keziah is focused on keeping his head down and questions. Unfortunately, staying invisible becomes much harder when he witnesses what Therese did.

As the two scramble to stay ahead of the police, they discover the developer's death has attracted the attention of powerful people far more interested in what he left behind than in how he died.

Every clue leads deeper into New Mexico's forgotten past, where stolen antiquities, buried secrets, and dangerous folklore refuse to stay buried.

What began as a desperate attempt to save the Juniper House becomes a fight to survive a conspiracy that has hidden in plain sight for generations. And the closer Therese and Keziah come to the truth, the more they suspect their home is somehow part of it.
