Description

A country escape turns into a deadly trap.

When an old friend, Lady Alice Kirkham, invites Electra to her family's country estate, she welcomes the chance to escape London's bustle and the persona she's carefully cultivated as a medium to the upper crust. Alice knew Electra before she made a living from séances, and a visit to Oxfordshire offers a rare chance to step away from it all.

But when a nobleman dies the night after her arrival, Alice becomes the prime suspect, and Electra's attempts to help her friend only pull her deeper into the tangled web of relationships at Carthorpe Hall.

Electra comes to realize someone is orchestrating a deadly game and turns to the one man she swore never to trust with her secrets-Detective Inspector Gideon Pierce. Though they always clash, he believes in her and he's begun to trust her abilities. Together, they work to unravel carefully crafted deceptions and seek a murderer so determined to cover their tracks that they might kill again.
