FBI Agent Audra Wheeler is chasing a serial killing specter - a trail that leads to Specter, Georgia, a haven for ghosts who've crossed back over and now live among the living. Adjusting to a town where the dead never really left is hard enough. It's harder still working the case alongside the town's sheriff, Ethan Cole - her ex-partner, and an old flame she never fully put out.
Then the latest victim, Gwyneth Miller, comes back as a specter with an alibi: it wasn't a specter who killed her. Her claim pulls Audra into the town's most notorious cold case - the twenty-five-year-old murder of Abigail Stevens - and everywhere the town would rather she didn't look, from the trailers where Abigail grew up to the mansion of Specter's most powerful family, the Shelleys.
