Some family secrets are worth killing for.
Joanna Webber is in her office answering emails between client readings when Hedy appears with an urgent message for her son, Hank “the Hammer” Hammersley. After months of Hank asking Joanna to contact his deceased mother, Hedy finally has something important to say. And it’s going to change everything Hank thought he knew about his family.
What starts as a simple message of love quickly unravels into a tangled web of secrets, lies, and murder. Hedy reveals truths about Hank’s past that were buried for decades, truths about who his real father was and why that identity was hidden. Now there’s an inheritance at stake, one that powerful people will do anything to protect. And Hedy believes she and someone else were murdered to keep these secrets buried.
With her consulting work for the police keeping her busy, her touring schedule demanding attention, and baby Oakley needing her care, Joanna finds herself caught between Hank’s quest for answers and a wealthy family’s dangerous secrets. There are suspicious deaths that look natural, family members with motives and means, and an inheritance that could change lives or end them.
Detective Clint Hartley is investigating from the legal side while Hank uses his own methods to find the truth. But as Joanna channels messages between the living and the dead, she discovers that sometimes the people we trust most are the ones hiding the darkest secrets. Mothers protect their children. Families protect their fortunes. And someone is willing to kill to keep the past buried.
But this investigation will reveal betrayals that cut deeper than murder and force Hank to choose between vengeance and forgiveness.
Perfect for fans of cozy paranormal mysteries with heart, family drama, and shocking revelations.
