**THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER **
Karen White invites you to explore the brick-walked streets of
Charleston in her fifth Tradd Street novel, where historic mansions
house the memories of years gone by, and restless spirits refuse to fade
away...
With her extended maternity leave at its end, Melanie Trenholm is less
than thrilled to leave her new husband and beautiful twins to return to
work, especially when she's awoken by a phone call with no voice on the
other end--and the uneasy feeling that the ghostly apparitions that have
stayed silent for more than a year are about to invade her life once
more.
But her return to the realty office goes better than she could have
hoped, with a new client eager to sell the home she recently inherited
on South Battery. Most would treasure living in one of the grandest old
homes in the famous historic district of Charleston, but Jayne Smith
would rather sell hers as soon as possible, guaranteeing Melanie a quick
commission.
Despite her stroke of luck, Melanie can't deny that spirits--both
malevolent and benign--have started to show themselves to her again. One
is shrouded from sight, but appears whenever Jayne is near. Another
arrives when an old cistern is discovered in Melanie's backyard on Tradd
Street.
Melanie knows nothing good can come from unearthing the past. But some
secrets refuse to stay buried....
