Summary

In this paranormal mystery series opener, a young woman with a gift for finding corpses helps an FBI agent investigate a serial killer. 
 
There had been no attempt to bury the dead girl, naked except for the white ribbon tied to her wrist . . . 
 
Twenty-five-year-old Julie Hall has a unique ability: when she takes up a dowsing rod, she finds not water but bodies. To Julie, it's a curse, not a gift, and one she rarely uses—she prefers her quiet life in a trailer, with her grandfather and her dog for company. But when FBI agent Garrett Pierce shows up at her door seeking help with a case, she has no choice but to assist with their search. 
 
Three girls are still missing. The killer is still out there. As bodies are discovered and more girls disappear, the case becomes almost more than Julie can bear. And when the killer turns his sights toward her, even her growing relationship with the protective Agent Garrett may not be enough to save her. 
 
Praise for A Grave Calling 
 
“Readers who pat themselves on the back for being able to anticipate twists may find themselves one-upped here. Roberts imbues Hall with a likable pluck and grit. She has a deft, witty touch. . . . There is genuine suspense as the danger hits close to home, and Hall and Pierce make for an arresting team. Readers of this taut mystery don’t need dowsing rods to detect series potential.” —Kirkus Review

    Many lives collide in this quest to win a billion dollars for picking all the winners in the annual National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball tournament. Some are looking for riches, others for simple survival and personal redemption.
    
    Mathematician Sinclair Dane sponsors the contest, seeking money for a safety net for her troubled mother. She does not have a billion dollars to pay a winner. Risking her reputation and possible legal charges for fraud, she pins her hopes on the astronomical odds against anyone picking all the winners.
    
    Math professor Lewis Cusac uses the basketball contest to teach remedial math to college students, two of whom are playing in the tournament. He enters the contest and finds himself having selected all the winners with only three games remaining. He also gets a call from the NCAA investigators for suspicion of trying to fix the outcomes of games.
    
    Add to the mix a retired casino operator, a group of twenty-something social media wizards, and professional basketball's next megastar.
    
    As the contest goes global, the story races to an ending that will surprise the reader.
