In a city captivated by the dead, two women must uncover the truth before an innocent woman is sent to the gallows.
Boston, 1874. Celebrated Spiritualist medium Lenora Voss has built her reputation upon messages from beyond the veil. To her devoted audiences, she offers comfort. To her critics, she offers an expertly staged deception.
Clara Whitmore is determined to prove which one it is.
Clara's sister stands accused of murdering a prominent society gentleman, and the city has already decided she is guilty. When Lenora is hired to contact the victim during a private séance, Clara attends for one reason: to expose the medium as a fraud before grief and superstition further corrupt the case.
But the voice that answers from the darkness reveals something neither woman should know.
As Lenora and Clara follow its clues through Boston's séance parlors, medical theaters, and most respectable drawing rooms, they uncover a conspiracy protected by wealth, reputation, and silence. Every discovery draws them closer to the real murderer-and to one another.
Clara cannot afford to trust a woman who makes her living from illusion. Lenora cannot explain where performance ends and something far stranger begins. Yet with an execution approaching and a killer watching their every move, belief may be the only thing standing between them and the truth.
From E. M. Verya comes an atmospheric historical romance of forbidden desire, dangerous secrets, and the mysteries that refuse to remain buried.
