Overview
When the dead speak, does anybody hear? Sergeant Samantha Casey does. They tell her secrets about their life and death. But sometimes what she learns can get her killed. A body is found in a cement pillar. The deceased is a U.S. soldier reported AWOL during the Korean War. What secret did he carry to his grave and why is someone hell-bent on keeping that secret buried? When The Dead Speak combines police procedural with Native American mysticism in a novel about racism, conspiracy, political cover-up, and one woman's relentless pursuit of the truth.Editorials

X-Fileish without the alien tint, this novel slyly pulls you in and under, immersing you in an intricately woven plot.Leslie Doran
Tooley's premiere novel is a good, engaging read. Her tale of murder and mystery teams with life amongst death and humor in dire straits, and she even manages to weave in a blossoming romance or two in the bargain. It looks like Tooley has a winner in her first novel and I look forward to her next.Mystery News
