A porn-star-turned-psychic has made a business of reuniting grieving relatives with their dearly departed and its up to detective Sarah Booth to find outwhy? Her claim to beyond-the-grave fame aside, theres something suspicious about medium Sherry Westin, since all of her clients happen to be Southern billionaires. Is she preying on the emotionally vulnerable for profit? Or is something far more sinister in store?

Take Marjorie Littlefield. Sarah Booth is convinced that Sherry is scheming to steal away Marjories fortune from her sole heir: a cat. Soon Sarah Booth is on the case, posing as a maid at Marjories estate. Between chores, she searches for clues of psychic manipulation, mingles with the other staff, and, lo and behold, finds a few dead bodies. With spooks and charlatans around every corner, which guest or staff member might be the killer? Even Jitty, Sarah Booths personal haint, wont tell until Sarah Booth has uncovered all of Sherrys well-kept secrets. Before its too late
