Anza O'Malley has just solved a very big case involving an ancient illuminated manuscript. Tired from all the work she did in the criminal underworld and from time spent with those from the spiritual otherworld, Anza takes her son, Henry, to Block Island on vacation.

In February 1907, a steamer collided in Block Island Sound with a schooner. The steamer sank almost immediately and only 19 passengers survived.

Disturbed by a proposal to build a wind farm near the spot where the steamer sank, a handful of furious spirits are doing their best to prevent their final resting places from ever being disturbed, and it's up to Anza to find a way to get them through to the next world. Yet something very interesting is beginning to happen- Anza realizes that though young, Henry may have inherited her ghost-whispering gift and she has to face realities she's never had to confront before.

Sleepy Block Island seems just the place for ghost whisperer Anza O'Malley to find some much-needed peace and quiet. But with troubled spirits dead set on making their voices heard, rest is in short supply!

February 1907, Block Island. Residents of this tiny Rhode Island community awaken to a scene of tragedy- During a midnight blizzard, a New York-bound steamer carrying 157 passengers has been destroyed at sea. Volunteers rush to the beach to organize a search-and-rescue effort-but for most of the passengers, hope is already lost.

A century later, residents of the island are busy preparing for the summer season and debating the merits of a proposed wind farm near the beach. No one expects that those long-forgotten passengers may have something to say about the project, but the restless spirits are furious that their final resting place may be disturbed-and turn to Anza to help them protect it. If spirit-world preservationists aren't enough, Anza also has to face the uncomfortable possibility that her five-year-old son, Henry, has inherited her gift. And then there's that handsome fisherman whose charms are proving difficult to ignore.

What began as a simple island sojourn turns into a week of chills, thrills, and ghostly intrigue in this gripping second novel in the Ghost Files series.
