The body of a U.S. soldier reported AWOL during the Korean War is found encased in a concrete pillar. What secret did he carry to his grave and why is someone hell-bent on keeping that secret buried? Detective Sergeant Samantha Casey has an advantage over other cops. The dead speak to her, tell her secrets about their life and death. But sometimes what she learns can get her killed. When the Dead Speak is a fast-paced, tension-filled joy ride sprinkled with humor, plot twists, romance, and a touch of Native American culture.
