Not Quite True

Gracie Harper has plenty on her plate. The mayor of her town, Beau, stands accused of abusing his office and faces federal charges. A curse has been aimed at her unborn nephew, and the ghost living in her room is withdrawn and tight-lipped. A trip to Charleston with her cousin Amelia is meant to give everyone a break, but a second spirit follows Gracie home to Heron Creek. While she digs into the story of the Whistling Doctor of Dueler's Alley, trouble mounts. Leo has stopped speaking to her, Amelia's depression is endangering her health, and Gracie begins to wonder whether Beau is as innocent as she believed. Then a crash on the road home from a research trip forces her to confront a darker truth: her ghost's secrets may be far from harmless, and the documents he has guarded for two centuries could bury her underground.
