Publisher's Synopsis
In the mundane routine of sixteen-year-old Mattie Hathaway, seeing ghosts is an everyday occurrence-a gift she acquired after surviving her mother's attempt on her life at the age of five. Struggling as a foster kid, Mattie keeps her ability to communicate with spirits a closely guarded secret, unwilling to add the label of "freak" to the challenges she already faces. Typically, she brushes off the ghosts, and they fade away.However, this time, a glitch disrupts her usual routine-the ghost she encounters is none other than her foster sister, Sally, presumed by everyone else to be a mere runaway. Mattie, however, knows the chilling truth-Sally has been murdered. Driven by a sense of duty foster kids share, Mattie is compelled to help her departed foster sister, but the task proves too daunting to handle alone.Against her instincts, Mattie joins forces with a young police officer, embarking on a quest to unveil the unsettling truth behind Sally's disappearance. As they dig deeper, they inadvertently draw the attention of the killer, turning the pursuit of justice into a perilous race against time. Now, Mattie must unravel the mystery before the relentless serial killer closes in on her.
