Sheriff Sam Daly, a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, and his husband, Michael Bellomo, have made a life for themselves in sparsely populated Pine County in the Colorado mountains. Sam oversees the small sheriff's department, and Michael sells his paintings and tourist items out of his shop, Needful Things. From the beginning, Sam has known Michael possessed gifts: the ability to see and hear things Sam cannot.When a report of a body in a massive snow-filled depression up a mountainside sends Sam and his deputy, Digger, to investigate, Sam struggles to reconcile the existence of skinwalkers in Pine County with the world he's familiar with. Michael, though, deals with this reality through his art, and through the mysticism he's been gifted. Sam's effort to discover what is happening causes him to examine his life with Michael from the time they first met. The inevitable conclusion might be that he'll never understand the mysteries of the mountains, but for the sake of Michael and their love, he'll have to embrace them.

In 1943 Henry Stanley Clark died at the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana. Despite the fact that the New Orleans coroners determined that a brain aneurysm killed Henry, his widow, Maybelle Merriweather-Clark, was convinced otherwise. Until her death in 1984, Maybelle believed that Henry had been murdered.Maybelle's mastery of powerful black magic and voodoo, and her ability to conjure the spirits of the dead, are not enough to confirm her belief. All she's ever able to do is to place the visions, the apparitions, the smells, and the sounds of her suspicions within a leather briefcase, which only certain chosen ones can experience. The chosen ones are specified in Maybelle's will, and each is offered the challenge of deciphering the briefcase's clues. Two of the chosen will have a special gift-the precious ability to see the magic of this world and to understand the machinations of the spirits that move among us. The chosen include her nephew, a Denver cop; her personal assistant; and her great-nephew, both of whom are gay. Until one of the chosen three proves Maybelle's suspicions, Henry remains in the tortured stasis in which Maybelle has placed him for his past indiscretions.Will the chosen be able to free Henry from limbo?
