Book Description
Harper Connelly is embroiled in a triple murder in the second paranormal mystery from bestselling author Charlaine Harris. Ever since Harper Connelly was stuck by lightening as a teenager, she's been able to find dead people. At the request of anthropology professor Dr Clyde Nunley, Harper and her stepbrother Tolliver head to Memphis to give a demonstration of her unique talent in an old cemetery. Dr Nunley is sceptical when Harper senses two bodies in the grave - one of a centuries-dead man and the other of a young girl, recently deceased. Then the grave is opened. The dead girl is eleven-year-old Tabitha, abducted from Nashville two years previously - a child whom Harper had tried, and failed, to find. Suspicion falls on Harper, so she and Tolliver must prove her innocence by finding the killer themselves. But time runs short when a third body is found in the same grave. . .

Book Description
The authors provide a comprehensive picture of burial, mourning rituals, commemoration practices and veneration of the dead among the Negev Bedouin. A primary emphasis is the pivotal linkages between the living and the dead embodied in the intermediary role of healers, sorcerers, seers and other arbitrators between heaven and earth, who supplicate -- publicly and privately -- at the gravesite of chosen awliyah (deceased saints). This book brings together integrated findings of three scholars, based on decades of field work that combine close to 65 years of scrutiny. It maps out the locations and particularities of venerated tombs, the identity of the occupants and their individual abilities vis-a-vis the Almighty. Attitudes, beliefs and customs surrounding each gravesite, when combined on a longitudinal scale, reveal changes over time in beliefs and practices in grave worship and burial, mourning and condolence customs. Analysis of the data reveals that the dynamic of grave worship among the Negev Bedouin throws light on ancient traditions in a complex relationship with mainstream Islamic doctrine and the impact of modernity on Bedouin conduct and belief. The authors' observations and interviews with practitioners about their beliefs are compared and augmented with references that exist in the professional literature, including grave worship elsewhere in the Arab world. The Charm of Graves is essential reading for anthropologists, scholars of the sociology of religion, and students of Islam at university and popular levels. The topic has received only marginal attention in existing anthropological works and has been keenly awaited.
