Eighteen years after Henry Calloway and Calvin Brooks sealed the line, their family has lived in peace.
Until now.
The Ghost Line II: Resurrection Blues picks up in the summer of 1996. New Orleans is gearing up for its Tricentennial celebrations, and the Calloway-Brooks family believes the curse has long ended. But when the levees groan during an unseasonal storm and newly raised foundations collapse, the dead sing again.
Survivors speak of a chorus under the floodline - a hymn that calls their names. The disaster echoes the haunting cycle of 1978, but this time the voice comes through someone living.
Daniel "Danny" Brooks-Calloway, now 18, is a street-smart kid raised on brass, basketball, and stories that his family tried to keep buried. He has his father Calvin's discipline, his mother Evelyn's faith, and his uncle Henry's haunted intuition.
Danny has never believed in ghosts.
But the river remembers him - and now, he can hear it.
Unlike the cries of the old spirits, these voices aren't begging for mercy.
They're recruiting.
