A spring wedding in Ashland’s flower-filled Lithia Park should be a dream come true.
But when the radiant bride plunges to her death from the 9th-story window of the historic and haunted Globe Springs Hotel, the celebration turns chillingly tragic.
Was it an accident, or something darker blooming beneath the surface?
Former antiquities inspector William Mills and his spirited partner Carol Lindsey, with the aid of Dante the ghost cat, are swept into a mystery that winds through heirloom secrets, suspicious relatives, and a controversial exhibit of ancient Egyptian and Biblical artifacts. One centerpiece—a gold and gemstone necklace said to carry a deadly curse—seems to be waking something long dormant within the hotel’s walls.
With the ghostly Blue Lady whispering warnings, and the hotel’s shadowed past refusing to stay buried, William and Carol must untangle a ritual half-forgotten and a legacy someone will kill to protect.
Secrets blossom, ghosts stir, and danger blooms in the quaint Shakespearean town of Ashland, Oregon.
