Greenville was supposed to be quiet. It never is.

Devin Green keeps the old mountain hotel running in a ghost town that lives up to its name?especially as the anniversary of the deadly 1800s fire approaches. She swears she'll shut down early this year...until unexpected guests show up.

Suspended detective Courtney Rankin arrives hoping to disappear for a week?only to realize Devin is the woman she once shared a wild, anonymous night with in college. Her sister-in-law Kayla insists on staying; the town's haunted history is perfect research for her next novel.

At the same time, Gail Moretti and her daughter Katie flee an abusive husband with stolen diamonds they didn't know they had. Lost in the mountains, they're rescued by eighty-one-year-old Bea Jost, who leads them toward Greenville?trailing danger with every step.

Molly, the inn's aging keeper, can see the ghosts others can't. And she knows the spirits are split between protecting the living and unleashing another disaster.

As the fire's anniversary nears, the veil thins, the past claws forward, and a storm of living and dead converges on Greenville.

This year, the town won't go quietly?and neither will the people fighting to survive it.
