The Christmas spirit is overtaking Tradd Street with a vengeance in
this festive new novel in the New York Times bestselling series by
Karen White.
Melanie Trenholm should be anticipating Christmas with nothing but
joy--after all, it's only the second Christmas she and her husband,
Jack, will celebrate with their twin toddlers. But the ongoing
excavation of the centuries-old cistern in the garden of her historic
Tradd Street home has been a huge millstone, both financially and
aesthetically. Local students are thrilled by the possibility of
unearthing more Colonial-era artifacts at the cistern, but Melanie is
concerned by the ghosts connected to it that have suddenly invaded her
life and her house--and at least one of them is definitely not filled
with holiday cheer....
And these relics aren't the only precious artifacts for which people are
searching. A past adversary is convinced there is a long-lost
Revolutionary War treasure buried somewhere on the property Melanie
inherited--untold riches rumored to have been brought over from France
by the Marquis de Lafayette himself and intended to help the Colonial
war effort. It's a treasure literally fit for a king, and there have
been whispers throughout history that many have already killed--and
died--for it. And now someone will stop at nothing to possess it--even
if it means destroying everything Melanie and Jack hold dear.
