Melanie is trying to concentrate on her job as a realtor in Charleston in this sequel to The House on Tradd Street. In her spare time, she is renovating her historical house along with Dr. Sophie Wallen, a professor of historical restoration and her best friend.

Melanie’s mother, Ginnette Prioleau Middleton, a world-renowned opera star, left Melanie when she was seven years old, 33 years ago. Melanie was raised by her alcoholic father and had a very hard time dealing with her mother’s abandonment.

When her mother returns to her life through an ex-boyfriend and sometimes partner in exorcising ghosts, Jack Trenholm, her routine life is unsettled. Melanie and her mother have a special gift of seeing dead spirits but kept a very low profile in that regard. When Ginnette decides to purchase their old family home, unrested spirits come to the surface.

With their lives in danger, Melanie and her mother must find out why evil spirits are threatening them. When an old sunken ship is raised, things become more complicated when a dead body, apparently murdered, is found in a trunk. It is believed to be a distant relative of theirs.

Rebecca Edgerton, a reporter with the Post and Courier who has been writing articles on famous Charlestonians of the last 50 years, is interested in writing a store about the Prioleau family. Her interest in the family turns up some interesting information. Her interest in Jack also has Melanie disturbed, but she has to determine why. Melanie doesn’t trust her, but can’t quite figure out why.

Digging up the family history doesn’t always turn out the way they expected. Finding out relatives aren’t always what they seemed make their quest a dangerous one. Melanie, having to deal with her mother’s return, turns up more questions than answers.

This spell-binding, super natural ghost story keeps you wondering about family relationships. Karen White weaves a tale of intrigue, suspense, and deceit.
