Joey Crouch had never left Chicago until after his mother's funeral, when he was sent to live with the father he'd never met. When he arrives in his father's small town, he meets a man who doesn't want to take in a teenage son, doesn't want to interact with anyone, doesn't want to be a part of anyone's life. Because Harnett is a digger. A grave-digger. A grave-robber, actually. And Joey is going to find a way to enter the family business. 
 A compelling, if sometimes gross, story; main characters are well-developed. Background characters--school bullies, for instance--are almost cartoonish in their one-dimensionality. Audio as good as rumored!
