A jazz singer's ghost holds the key to betrayal, murder, and the truth Declan Gallagher has spent a century trying to forget…

Magnolia Thorne has survived haunted bayous, an alligator sidekick, gossiping ghosts, and a sentient cottage with the emotional stability of a Victorian widow—but nothing has prepared her for turning thirty. She's hoping for a quiet week in her cemetery home. Instead, beneath a moonlit Louisiana sky, a woman in sequins rises from a cracked crypt and starts singing.

Lila Devaux—Gravesend's most glamorous 1920s jazz star—has been dead nearly a century, but she claims she knows the truth about Declan Gallagher's final night. Not the rumors. Not the legend. The truth.

And she wants Magnolia to help her settle a score.

Soon Maggie is pulled into hidden speakeasy tunnels, spectral jazz riffs that refuse to fade, and a bootlegging conspiracy stretching from the Roaring Twenties to today. Meanwhile, Declan—her favorite broody Irish bootlegger ghost—is becoming disturbingly solid. More present. More touchable. More heartbreakingly real. And more reluctant than ever to face a past that still has the power to break him.

As Lila's fury cracks the Veil wide open, Magnolia must uncover what really happened the night Declan died—before Gravesend is overrun by restless spirits. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous her world becomes. Because someone is still protecting the Kittredge legacy. Someone who already killed to keep these secrets buried. Someone who knew Aunt Cordelia got too close.

On the eve of her thirtieth birthday, Magnolia must decide how far she'll go to expose a century of lies—and whether the truth will anchor Declan to her forever… or set him free for good.

In Gravesend, the ghosts sing… and some tunes can kill.
