She sees the dead. She just never expected to fall for one.
England, 1815. When Eleanor Ashworth arrives at a Thornfield Park house party, she expects two uncomfortable weeks of card games and small talk. What she gets instead is a dead housemaid no one will call murder, a s ance circle with a body count, and a sharp-witted investigative partner who casts no shadow and appears in no mirror.
Captain James Mercer has been trapped inside Thornfield Park for two years, invisible to everyone - until Eleanor. Together they make a formidable pair: he can walk through locked doors and hear conversations through walls. She can talk back to the dead and take notes. But as they close in on the elegant, ruthless women behind a twenty-year conspiracy of arranged deaths and stolen estates, Eleanor begins to understand the real cost of finishing this case.
Setting him free means losing him.
