“Eliza nodded in agreement. But where her brother saw the possibility of something otherworldly, Eliza knew its reality. She could feel the rotting bones of the house’s structure, decaying windows with their blank reflections, and the weary-looking oak door. She knew something not entirely human dwelled within that place. Something secret.”
Eliza Grey has always had a supernatural gift. She knows things. Unseen things.
As a child, she held her gift close. Only her brother knows about the ghost who claimed Eliza on a beach when she was five. This tortured apparition, the one she calls the Wet Lady, promised their paths would cross again.
Now a writer for a local newspaper in a Massachusetts seaside town, Eliza’s latest assignment leads to the discovery of a lone grave and a forgotten family burial plot. Honor Brown died in 1808. Honor’s mysterious death, ruled a suicide, sets off Eliza’s inner knowing.
With the assistance of an unlikely group of friends and her new furry sidekick, a Great Pyrenees named Murphy, Eliza unearths Honor’s truth.
Was it suicide, or was it murder?
But peeling away the layers of a 200-year-old mystery isn’t easy. Especially when Eliza uncovers a web of deceit leading back to the town’s mayor, who not only thwarts her investigation of the past but endangers her present.
Promises given. Promises taken. The Wet Lady has returned.
Destined to relinquish herself to this tormented soul, can Eliza uncover the truth before her mind and body are no longer her own?
