Grave Pursuits
About this audiobook
Some secrets refuse to stay buried. Some killers never stop.
When DCNR Ranger Emily Davis discovers a human skull buried in the Pennsylvania wilderness, she unwittingly exposes a decades-old crime and a serial killer who has been using her park as a dumping ground. As more remains are uncovered, one set is traced to a long-forgotten cold case involving a missing judge, a mystery that now appears to be just one piece of a disturbing pattern. Clues suggest the judge’s disappearance is connected to several other missing persons cases—each one pointing to a predator who has gone undetected for years.
State Police Sergeant Wade Brunner has spent years chasing justice, but this case is personal. Not only is Emily the woman he never stopped loving, but working alongside her stirs memories of the one case that still haunts them both—Emily’s missing sister, Nora. While her disappearance remains separate from the murders, every uncovered body forces Emily to relive the trauma of losing her sister.
As they work to unravel the threads of a case spanning years and victims, Wade and Emily must confront their past, their faith, and a relentless killer who has no intention of stopping.
But the closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes. Someone is watching. Someone is hunting. And Emily may be the next to vanish.
For fans of Colleen Coble, Lisa Phillips, and Susan May Warren, Grave Pursuits is a riveting Christian suspense novel where past sins refuse to stay buried, and faith is the only thing standing between justice and death.

Emily Norman is a professional narrator recording out of her home studio in Norman, Oklahoma. That’s right. Emily Norman from Norman. Acting, singing and reading have always been her happy places, so she has been on stage and in an acting class more times than she can count. Her first clue that this was what she was made to do was in 5th grade when she couldn’t WAIT for her turn to read out loud in front of the class. It was Shakespeare. And yes, she did voices. Fast forward to college. She received degrees from Wheaton College in Philosophy and Vocal Performance giving her an eye for text analysis and an ear for giving a nuanced performance with distinct, authentic characters. She has narrated for big 5 publishers and USA Today best selling authors, and she is a member of the APA and PANA. Sounding like the girl next door, her voice is beautifully suited for heartwarming fiction, YA, Romance, Thrillers and more. She especially loves narrating Christian books due to her personal faith. When she’s not narrating, she can be found drinking a “cuppa” tea with her British husband, overthinking something, chasing their four children around, or having deep conversations.
