About this audiobook
**THE EXHUMANS — Book One**
A town of four hundred and twelve people vanishes in a single night. No bodies. No wreckage. Just a lake where a street used to be, and two dead men in a motel forty miles away.
The world calls it the Vanishing. Moses Van Buren knows better — because one of his own is missing too, and Julian Castellane has never done anything without a reason.
Six months after four young shadowkin died in a basement and came back, they have a city to run and a country quietly deciding whether people like them should exist. A woman in a Reno warehouse describes removal as a philosophical position. And in Nebraska, a nurse opens her door to a stranger who tells her, with courtesy, exactly what will happen to her town.
They are not ready. Not for what walks onto the south lawn. Not for what one woman builds in fourteen months.
By the time it has a name, it is in the water in thirty-four states.
