After years of aiding the police with cold cases, Anza is eager to leave her paranormal sleuthing days behind and focus on her family and craft. However, when a priceless illuminated manuscript vanishes from the Boston Athenaeum—and its desecration summons vengeful spirits—Anza has no choice but to step back into her role as a reluctant detective.
Joined by an unusual trio of ghostly allies—a debonair butler and two medieval monks—Anza embarks on a high-stakes journey through Boston’s historic streets. As she follows a trail of danger, deceit, and spectral intrigue, she discovers the dark secrets hidden behind the theft—and risks everything to restore balance between the living and the dead.
