When the past refuses to stay buried, medium Joanna Webber discovers her husband’s death was anything but accidental.
When Joanna Webber visits her late husband’s grave for the first time in six years, she never expects Ted’s ghost to appear with a shocking revelation. His drunk driving accident wasn’t an accident at all. It was murder. And the truth about who he really was, what he really did, might destroy everything Joanna thought she knew about their marriage.
What starts as a quest for closure quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. Ted wasn’t just an account manager for a real estate company. He was a money launderer and collector for Hank “the Hammer” Hammersley, working in the shadows of Creekview’s organized crime world. Now someone is following Joanna again. Bullets fly at a downtown bar.
And the deeper she digs into Ted’s double life, the more she uncovers about gambling debts, rival gangs, and the terrifying Cecil Edwards who may have ordered the hit.
With her loyal assistants Micah and Tessa by her side, and now officially consulting for the police, Joanna races to untangle six years of lies. There’s Hank and his crew at Leo’s bar, the ruthless Cecil Edwards who claims he was trying to recruit Ted, the mysterious new gang in Redlynne, and secrets hidden in property files and underground poker games. Everyone has something to hide. Everyone is protecting their own interests.
Detective Clint Hartley thinks Joanna is putting herself and baby Oakley in unnecessary danger by investigating organized crime, and maybe he’s right. But when the dead reveal the truth about the life they led, Joanna can’t walk away. Even when it means breaking into secure buildings and confronting killers face to face.
But this investigation will force her to forgive the unforgivable and accept truths that will change how she sees her past forever.
Perfect for fans of cozy paranormal mysteries with heart, humor, and organized crime intrigue.
