A locked winter worksite. A superintendent dead behind the fence. And six workers who may never have existed.
The Old Foundry Yard is closed for structural stabilization, its gates controlled, its electrical systems monitored, and every authorized worker supposed to leave a record.
Yet site superintendent Dean Harrow has found six names that appear where living workers should be.
Then Dean dies inside the restricted yard.
What Alderbell quickly calls a haunting looks very different to Mara Venn. White fabric moving in the rain, unexplained knocks, old brick, and unsupported names can make an excellent ghost story.
They do not make evidence.
With Sergeant Talia Reed controlling the homicide investigation and Rook supplying only unsettling questions, Mara turns to access credentials, conservation photographs, electrical records, construction logs, payroll documents, tool marks, and the systems someone believed they could quietly rewrite.
The deeper she looks, the clearer the danger becomes.
The foundry's ghosts are not supernatural.
Someone created them.
And Dean may have died because he discovered what those nonexistent workers were hiding.
The Foundry Ghost is Book Six of The Alderbell Island Mysteries, an atmospheric winter whodunit combining industrial history, fair-play clues, gentle paranormal elements, dry humor, a talking raven, and a clean developing romance.
