Shane works with her mother and their ghost dogs, tracking down missing persons, even when their families can’t afford to pay.
Their own family was displaced from their traditional home years ago, following a devastating flood and the loss of Shane’s father and her grandparents. They don’t think they will ever get their home back. Then Shane’s mother and a local boy go missing, after a strange interaction with a fairy ring.
Shane, her brother, her friends, and her lone, surviving grandparent—who isn’t to be trusted—set off on the road to find them. But they may not be anywhere in this world or this place in time. Nevertheless, Shane is going to find them.
