Cap's father is desperate for money so he agrees to dig bodies up from graves and gets Cap to help as well. Cap doesn't like it but doesn't have much choice. One night, after digging up a body, Cap discovers it is a friend of his. He can't let her be taken so he decides to take her body back to the orphanage where she was living. But, when he touches her, she wakes up!! At first, Cap thinks he might have a gift of raising the dead, especially after he is able to "raise" another dead man. But, after failing to "raise" some other bodies Cap learns that some of the dead aren't really dead and that something really evil is going on. But who is responsible? Can Cap figure it out or will he be the next victim?
This was a good bit of historical fiction albeit a bit gruesome. It had a bit of mystery to it as well which I enjoyed. I felt that there were a few holes in the plot that weren't explained but overall an enjoyable read.
