Hannah Smith returns in the stunning new adventure in the New York Timesâbestselling series from the author of the Doc Ford novels.
Â
The house is historic, some say haunted. It is also slated to be razed and replaced by condos, unless Hannah Smith can do something about it. Sheâs been hired by a wealthy Palm Beach widow to prove that the houseâs seller didnât disclose everything he knew about the place when he unloaded it, including its role in a bloody Civil War skirmish (in which two of Hannahâs own distant relations had had a part), and the suicidesâor were they murders?âof two previous owners.
Hannah sees it as a win-win opportunity: She can stop the condo project while tracking her family history. She doesnât believe in ghosts, anyway. But some things are more dangerous than ghosts. Among them, as she will learn, perhaps fatally, is human obsession.
