One altered deed can wake a ghost.
Clara Vale came back to Moonfall to bury her great-aunt, settle an estate, and leave before anyone remembered why her mother ran from town.
Then she finds the deed.
Hidden in the locked room of Vale Family Records, the old property transfer carries a witness line that should not exist. When Clara touches the paper, a soaking-wet ghost appears in the archive and whispers that she signed because she was afraid.
Everyone in Moonfall knows Nora Bell ran away in 1987. Everyone also seems very invested in Clara accepting that story.
With a skeptical detective watching her steps, a guarded librarian protecting old secrets, and a powerful local family eager to control the archive before Clara catalogs it, Clara follows the ghost from courthouse ledgers to cemetery plots and the bridge where Moonfall's prettiest lies begin to rot.
But the dead cannot testify. If Clara wants to clear Nora's name, she will have to prove the murder in the records the living tried to erase.
The Ghost in the Deed is a paranormal cozy mystery with ghostly clues, small-town secrets, and an amateur sleuth who knows every family tree has a shadow.
