Brothers Sam and Dean Winchester go down to the Florida Keys to investigate some mysterious deaths which may be linked to a rapid increase in ghost activity. It seems that two demons have been sacrificing humans, which has been increasing the ghosts' presence, but this has also awakened "The Last Calusa", the embodiment of an entire tribe of warlike Native Americans that were wiped out by disease centuries before. What this mega-spirit wants to do is wipe out all of the "white man" who it blames for his people's destruction. When Sam is captured by it, it's up to Dean, along with fellow hunter, Bobby, to come to the rescue.
The demon named Fedra is appropriately evil, though a more interesting support character is Captain Naylor, a ghost who is haunting the Bed and Breakfast where the Winchesters are staying. I also got a hoot out of Hemingway's ghost--and that one of the other characters has my name!.
I enjoyed this as much as the author's previous SUPERNATURAL book, NEVERMORE, and the author manages to capture the spirit (no pun intended) of the television series. BONE KEY reads like one of the show's better episodes, no small feat.
