Incapace di superare il trauma dell'uccisione della moglie e della figlia, il detective Charlie Parker si è ritirato nelle campagne del Maine, dove è nato. Quella parvenza di tranquillità che sperava di trovare viene però orrendamente turbata dal ritrovamento dei cadaveri di una giovane donna, Rita Ferris, e del suo bambino. I sospetti ricadono subito sull'ex marito di Rita, Billy Purdue, un uomo schivo e violento, dileguatosi nel nulla. Sulle sue tracce non c'è solo la polizia: a quanto pare Billy ha dei conti in sospeso con la mafia locale, a cui ha sottratto parecchi soldi.

Si racconta che in un bosco del Maine vaghi il fantasma di una bambina; è vestita di nero e ha gli occhi incavati. Durante una battuta di caccia in quei luoghi, due uomini incappano nei rottami di un piccolo velivolo, e forse non si tratta di un semplice caso. Tra le lamiere non trovano cadaveri, solo un borsone pieno di denaro, dei fogli che recano una lunga lista di nomi e un paio di manette spezzate legate al bracciolo di un sedile.

In convalescenza in una cittadina del Maine in seguito alle ferite provocate da un colpo d'arma da fuoco che stava per costargli la vita, il detective Charlie Parker fatica a superare le angosce legate all'esperienza drammatica recentemente vissuta.

Mentre era sulle tracce di un pericoloso gangster del Rhode Island, il detective privato Jaycob Eklund sembra essere scomparso nel nulla. Edgar Ross, agente speciale dell'FBI, affida a Charlie 'Bird' Parker il difficile incarico di rintracciarlo.

La particolarità delle indagini di Eklund è che ciascuno dei casi seguiti sembrerebbe collegato a storie di fantasmi.
