Every town has one-the big old house that has stood empty for so long no one remembers anyone ever living there. It's the place whispered about around campfires, the subject of ghost stories and local legends filled with family curses, tragic deaths, and restless spirits. No one knows how much of the folklore is true, but no one has ever been eager to find out.
In White Eagle, Montana, that house is Harrington House.
Built more than fifty years ago by wealthy industrialist Hartford Harrington as a summer retreat for his wife and their five children, the sprawling mansion was anything but a happy home. Isolated from San Francisco and the bustling life Harrington refused to leave behind, the estate became less a luxurious getaway than a lonely prison for the family he rarely saw. Over the years, tragedy after tragedy struck until each of the Harrington children had been laid to rest in the small family cemetery on the edge of the property.
The mansion survived decades of harsh Montana winters, standing silent and abandoned long after the last Harrington left. Following the shocking death of Houston Harrington, who leapt from a third-story window to the stone veranda below, no member of the family-or any heir-ever returned.
Until now.
When Jordan Westlake inherits Harrington House from his mother, he decides to do what no one else has dared: move in and restore the crumbling estate to its former grandeur. He expects endless repairs, hidden expenses, and years of hard work.
What he doesn't expect is to discover a human skeleton concealed inside a wall.
With a decades-old murder suddenly unearthed, Tess Thomas and Tilly Adams find themselves pulled into one of White Eagle's oldest mysteries. As long-buried family secrets begin to surface, they must determine whether the mansion's haunted reputation is nothing more than legend...or if someone has been willing to kill to keep the truth hidden.
