Dying changed Mary O’Reilly’s life—but coming back changed everything.
After a near-death experience left her with the ability to see and communicate with ghosts, former Chicago cop Mary O’Reilly traded city streets for small-town Freeport, Illinois, hoping to build a quieter life as a private investigator. But the dead have other plans.
Mary’s cases come with an unusual twist—her clients are often not among the living. Balancing her investigative skills with her supernatural abilities, Mary must find real-world evidence to solve crimes that are far from ordinary. After all, ghostly testimony doesn’t exactly hold up in court—and the town’s new, charming police chief is already suspicious of her unorthodox methods.
When the ghost of a young woman begins haunting the wife of a prominent State Senator—just as he prepares to announce his campaign for higher office—Mary is called in to investigate. The woman’s death, ruled an accidental drowning twenty-four years ago, suddenly doesn’t seem so accidental.
As Mary digs deeper, she uncovers a chilling connection between the woman’s death and five unsolved cases of missing little girls—all gone without a trace over the last two decades.
Now, someone is watching Mary. Someone who has killed before. And as she gets closer to the truth, she may become the killer’s next target.
Mystery, suspense, and a dash of the supernatural—Mary O’Reilly is on the case, and nothing from this world or the next will stop her.
