What's buried—or who's buried—in Suze's backyard? When the nineteenth-century ghost of Maria de Silva wakes her in the middle of the night, Suze realizes this is no ordinary courtesy call—and not just because there's a knife at her throat. During her lifetime, Maria was the bride of Jesse - the same Jesse who was killed a hundred and fifty years ago. The same Jess with whom Suze is in love. Maria threatens Suze, demanding that she stop construction work in the backyard. And Suze seems to have an idea of what—or, more accurately, who—Maria is afraid of discovering. But in trying to solve Jess's murder, will Suze end up losing him forever?
