Dead and Lost — Lou Harper

Not all bodies want to remain buried.

Leander Thorne makes his living as a psychic pet detective and moonlights as an unofficial police consultant. In his latter role he has agreed to help Detective Cora Bennet from the LAPD with a decades-old murder. Unfortunately, the victims bones refuse to talk to him.

To complicate things, Leander's anxiety-prone boyfriend Jon has started sleepwalking again. Since Jon has perfected taciturnity into an art form it'll take all of Leander's patience and tenacity to make him open up.

When Leander and Jon start digging into the old murder case the mystery grows thicker at every turn. Leander's knack for finding lost things and buried secrets lead them into the hills above a posh LA suburb. However, those hills hide more than just mountain lions and rattlesnakes. If they are not careful trouble will find them.
