Beware the voices in the mist. Their promises are lies. On a research trip to Alaska, Maya Adler has no business investigating a mysterious ghost ship, but she’s not the kind of person who listens to reasonable advice and one of her best friends is a paranormal detective after all. However, what started with innocent curiosity soon becomes a quest for the truth when five strangers arrive in town claiming to be survivors from the ship. What happened to them? Why do they all remember the incident so differently. Did they kill the rest of the crew?

The Sisters of Salem are in disarray, their coven leader murdered and left to be found. The case has already been closed; the death attributed to the headless horseman’s reign of terror.

All they need is one good reason and she’s out of a job. Nevertheless, she feels responsible–Chloe should have spotted the clues and been able to prevent the coven leader’s death. Shouldn’t she?

Xavier Silvestre wants the treasure. He is rich, resourceful, and ruthless. He also has one of Patricia Fisher’s friends and that’s more than enough to get her involved.
