Darkness My Old Friend by Lisa Unger

Jones Cooper retired from the police force. He lives in The Hallows, a place riddled with mystery and darkness. Eloise is a psychic who comes to see him about a vision. He is skeptical but can't totally dismiss her either.

Meanwhile, 15 year-old Willow, a newcomer to The Hallows is disgruntled because her mother moved her from the city to this sparsley populated rural area. She is having difficulty making friends and feels quite isolated. One day she is walking through the woods and finds a man digging something. She is frightened and runs away quickly, dropping her cell phone.

In addition, Michael Holt has returned to town after the death of his father. He is in search of clues that might explain why his mother disappeared when he was a teenager.

All of these separate stories work together to form a good mystery. Readers of Ungers other books might recognize the town as it was the setting in Fragile as well.
