Synopsis

Margaret "Maggie" Ward looks like any other Upper East Side heiress in 1916 New York, but behind her parlor door she works as a professional spiritualist medium. A séance requested by a grieving widower is meant to be routine, until it uncovers something that suggests his wife's death wasn't natural at all.

Chasing that thread pulls Maggie further into the world beyond the veil than she's ever gone, and the truth turns out to be more dangerous than any client she's had before.

Drawing on gothic horror, period romance, and mystery in equal measure, the opening book of the White Crow series is a Titanic-era ghost story with a medium detective at its center.
