When Ellen, Sue, and Tanya are hired to help design a bed and breakfast on a newly reemerged island, they expect local legends and quirky folklore—not bodies. But before construction even begins, a young woman’s corpse surfaces near Antelope Island. Then another is discovered in the mud of Jensen Island, weighted down and hidden. As the women investigate, they uncover a chilling history: a long-vanished bridge, serial deaths from the 1890s, a mysterious journal that has gone missing, and a pattern of suicides exactly thirteen years apart at the nearby Bigelow Hotel.

And the spirit tethered to the property is not a gentle soul seeking peace. He is angry. As the women dig into the home’s past, they uncover ties to one of the Gulf Coast’s darkest chapters: organized crime, orphan exploitation, and the shadowy reign of the Dixie Mafia.
