A registered nurse finds herself matching wits with a murderous phantom when she is enlisted to help an elderly family member.
Bella loves her job at a big city trauma center where she works as a registered nurse, but she's burned out and ready for a change of scenery. So, when her eccentric uncle invites her to spend a few days at his rural, mountain home in the picturesque community of Flaxenvale, she jumps at the chance. However, there is only one catch--this is no ordinary house. This is the infamous Lagoveny House--a place with a grizzly history that is purportedly haunted by its past victims.
On the day after Bella's arrival to town, she discovers that her beloved uncle has been savagely bludgeoned by an unknown assailant! One of the few clues to the crime comes in the form of her uncle's dying words: "Save the brooks..."
To complicate matters further, Bella finds herself in the spotlight as suspect number one on the Flaxenvale police's short list. And while she bravely struggles to prove her innocence--and unmask the phantom--she finds herself constantly at odds with an assortment of oddball suspects that include a pushy real-estate agent, a greedy antiques collector, a sage storyteller, two wannabe paranormal investigators, and her uncle's unsavory attorney.
And as strange, inexplicable occurrences begin to escalate in the creepy, fog-shrouded mansion, Bella grows increasingly desperate to identify her uncle's murderer before she becomes a victim of the house, herself!
