A librarian who can see the past. A detective who only trusts facts. A murder that happened 130 years ago.
Sophie Huang has spent her entire life hiding her gift. One touch, and she can feel everything an object has witnessed. It’s the reason she wears gloves. The reason she keeps everyone at arm’s length. The
reason she’s been alone since her grandmother died three years ago.
Then a true-crime podcaster turns up dead in her library.
Detective Cameron Walsh doesn’t believe in psychics. She’s been burned before by someone who claimed to see things that weren’t there. But Margot Chen’s murder leads her straight to Sophie, to a century-old
cover-up, and to secrets the founding families of Willowmere, Oregon, have killed to protect.
As Sophie and Cameron dig deeper, they uncover a conspiracy that connects three wrongful executions in 1892 to modern-day wealth and power. Someone doesn’t want the truth exposed. And the closer Sophie gets
to Cameron, the harder it becomes to keep her walls intact.
