Catherine doesn't bury the dead, she rescues the living-- from intolerable, abusive, dangerous lives. Her darknet-based witness protection program, the Burial Society, is the last hope for people who desperately need to disappear, providing new identities. She is effective and efficient until she discovers that a slipup may have compromised a client, maybe even killed her. With her covert service relocated to Paris, Catherine's done her best to move on. But when a dark part of her past suddenly appears in the City of Light, she refuses to run-- and her life takes a harrowing turn.
