Sinossi
A high-society gala. A dead genealogist. A forty-year-old secret buried beneath Savannah’s live oaks.
Shelby Montgomery was finally settling into her new life as the mistress of The Montgomery House B&B.
The restoration terrors were handled, the bookings were steady, and the ghost that once haunted her third floor was finally at peace. Then came the invitation. Delivered by hand and sealed in deep-green wax, the ultra-exclusive Azalea League's invitation requests Shelby’s presence at the Magnolia Ball—courtesy of Savannah’s most untouchable society matriarch, Camilla DeVane.
When a prominent society genealogist is murdered in the garden mid-gala—moments after asking Shelby a chillingly specific question about her impossible eyes—Shelby realizes she hasn't just walked into a party. She's stepped directly into the crosshairs of a killer who has spent four decades keeping a deadly secret hidden.
Joined by a gentle new ghost with green-edged perfume, a razored 1983 county record, and her fiercely loyal team, Shelby begins to untangle a long-buried scandal that hits far closer to home than she ever imagined. But in a city where secrets are guarded by centuries of wealth, power, and polite silence, digging up the past comes with a lethal price tag.
Can Shelby expose the truth behind two murders before Savannah’s elite make her disappear?
