Ode to the bones / Carolyn Haines.
"When private investigator Sarah Booth Delaney returns to her Mississippi Delta roots, she's confronted by a ghostly vision of a woman in white on the Tallahatchie Bridge, who disappears before Sarah Booth can investigate further. When the local bank president hires her to find a missing farmer, Danny, she is forced to shift her focus back to the land of the (hopefully) still living. Danny is about to lose his family's generational farm to foreclosure and is rumored to be entangled in a secret affair with a preacher's wife. As Sarah Booth and her partner dig deeper, they uncover a web of gossip, ghost sightings, and a shadowy land buyer. With the help of her resident ghost-turned-spiritual-guide, Jitty, and her own unrelenting instincts, Sarah Booth must unravel the mystery of Danny's disappearance, confront a town full of half-truths, and decipher the cryptic clues left behind--including those wrapped in lyrics and riverwater. But someone is watching her every move, and if she isn't careful, she may be the next body swept away by the Tallahatchie's current"-- Provided by publisher
