A dark and chilling mystery in The Ghosts of Alice series
“The dead do not forgive…”
A sinister spirit stalks the streets of London — and Alice may be the only one who can face her.
Unable to find work, Alice Deaton reluctantly accepts a role in a psychic stage show touring London. It’s not the life she imagined, but with her strange ability to interact with the dead, she fits the part all too well.
When a young woman armed with a knife brings chaos to the inn where Alice is performing, her aunt begs Alice for help. Drawn into the woman’s story, Alice follows a trail that leads to an old city bookshop — and to a harrowing presence: the woman in the widow’s lace.
Who is this vengeful spirit? Why does she haunt the living? And what twisted plan is she drawing Alice into?
As winter grips London, Alice finds herself caught in a deadly mystery where the past refuses to stay buried — and where forgiveness is the last thing the dead have in mind.
