Enter a world of danger, ghosts and magic in the fourth book of the fantastic Downside Ghosts series.Ghosts; ghouls; things that go bump in the night. Chess has seen them all in her role as a witch and ghost hunter.Right now life is going surprisingly well for Chess Putnam.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, Chess’ ex lover Lex, son of a rival crime lord, is trying to re-ignite the sparks between them.Plus there’s the little matter of Chess’ real job as a ghost hunter for the Church of Real Truth; investigating reports of a haunting at a school in the heart of Downside. Someone seems to be taking a crash course in summoning the dead—and if Chess doesn’t watch her back, she may soon be joining their ranks.As Chess is drawn into a shadowy world of twisted secrets and dark violence, it soon becomes clear that she’s not going to emerge from its depths without making the ultimate sacrifice.
