Bone Pendant Girls

Andi Wyndham has seen and communicated with spirits since she was a child. At a gem expo, she is drawn to a pendant inscribed with a girl’s face, which seems to call out to her. Upon purchasing the pendant and a companion piece, Andi is shocked to discover that the pieces are made from human bone and depict two real missing/presumed-dead girls, Bennie and Mariah. The girls’ spirits urge Andi to find a man they call “the Fisherman.” Teaming up with a handsome private investigator, she works to lay their souls and bodies to rest while staying clear of the Fisherman’s trap. Friedman offers a thrilling debut full of mystery, murder, and hope. Rachel Fulginiti, Danny Campbell, and Jesse Vilinsky give voice to Andi, the girls, the Fisherman, and the people trying to bring justice to the victims. Their tense narration adds a level of discomfort and humanity to the novel.
