About this audiobook

Summary

Seventeen-year-old Elsa Reddin hears death coming — three sharp knocks in the walls, always one day before someone dies. In the coal-dark hollows of Depression-era West Virginia, a dying mining company orders the reopening of a sealed mine that entombed twelve men in 1907. When the first murders begin and cryptic notes surface among the dead, Elsa and a disgraced company doctor must untangle a secret buried for twenty-seven years before the mountain claims another generation.
