Rania Algafari never asked to be different, and when she escaped the war in Syria and moved to the UK, her only goal was to live her life in peace. Get up, go to work, avoid talking to the dead - that sort of thing.
But not everyone dies quietly, and Rania's soon being pestered by one ghost, blackmailed by another, and distracted by a handsome private investigator who's got his own reasons for wanting to solve a particularly gruesome murder.
While Will Lawson doesn't mind using unorthodox methods to crack a case, he's never had to contact his witnesses via a seance before. But the clock is ticking, and Will and his unlikely sidekicks need to hunt down a killer before he's dispatched to join the spirit world himself.

Beyond The Closed Case
Megan Carter had believed her bestfriend, Maddie Sinclair's death was a closed chapter, a tragedy the town had long mourned and moved past. But returning to her childhood home for the summer, Megan stumbles upon a forgotten box in the attic - photographs, letters, and memories that refuse to remain buried. As she flips through the images of her and Maddie, the girl she knew so intimately, a gnawing doubt begins to take hold: Maddie could never have taken her own life. The official investigation called it suicide, but nothing about the story fits the Maddie Megan remembers. The smiles, the words, the grief on display - all feel rehearsed, hollow, and wrong. As Megan retraces the final days of her best friend's life, she begins to uncover secrets hidden beneath layers of lies and whispers of betrayal. The deeper Megan digs, the more dangerous the path becomes. Maddie didn't die by her own hand - someone ensured she never returned. And now, the questions Megan dares to ask threaten to unravel the lives around her, revealing a darkness that has been waiting patiently in the shadows. But how far would you go to uncover a truth that could destroy everything you thought you knew - and what would you do if the person responsible was closer than you ever imagined?
