Staff Pick from CJ
I enjoy any book by Heather Graham. Most recently I have enjoyed The Unknown, which is part of the "Krewe of Hunters" series. The main character is guided by the ghost of her departed grandmother. I enjoy the characters, the intrigue and the suspense of this series and especially this book. KPL has many Heather Graham books but if you are interested in this title you will need to get it from the Consortium.
