THE USA TODAY NATIONAL BESTSELLER! The author of sales sensation If We Were Villains returns
with a story about a ragtag group of night shift workers who meet in the local cemetery to
unearth the secrets lurking in an open grave. Every night in the college's ancient cemetery
five people cross paths as they work the late shift: a bartender a rideshare driver a hotel
receptionist the steward of the derelict church that looms over them and the editor-in-chief
of the college paper always in search of a story. One dark October evening in the defunct
churchyard they find a hole that wasn't there before. A fresh open grave where no grave
should be. But who dug it and for whom? Before they go their separate ways the gravedigger
returns. As they trail him through the night they realize he may be the key to a string of
strange happenings around town that have made headlines for the last few weeks-and that they
may be closer to the mystery than they thought. Atmospheric and eerie with the ensemble cast
her fans love and a delightfully familiar academic backdrop Graveyard Shift is a modern Gothic
tale in If We Were Villains author M. L. Rio's inimitable style.
