Publisher's summary

Sometimes the skeletons in the closet are real.

Greenville, South Carolina, 1972. Penelope Drake knows the ghosts and demons lurking in her hometown aren’t just figurative. After all, her father’s spirit haunts the office of the detective agency she inherited from him. When Ephraim Brown, an old friend of her father, asks Penelope to investigate a break-in at his home, she’s hesitant. Breaking and entering is normally something she’d leave for the police, but with no other prospects in sight, she reluctantly agrees.

The simple burglary, however, turns out to be just the beginning, as the brutal supernatural attack that follows makes it clear someone is using dark magic to try to destroy Ephraim Brown and his family. It’s up to Penelope, along with her cagey assistant Zed and her friend Charles - who happens to know a bit of magic himself - to bring this scheme of revenge and murder to a halt before it’s too late. Because if they don’t, Penelope gets the distinct feeling the Brown family won’t be the hidden foe’s last target.

Listen to the novella that begins an exciting new series.

Enjoyable, entertaining, and suspenseful.

I listened to this book while I was at work. A coworker scared the mess out of me when she spoke to me while I was listening. Because, I was totally engrossed and engaged with the characters and their world. I definitely recommend and will be adding this title to my short list of titles I want to reread at a later date.
