    About this ebook

    Shannon O’Reilly is a teenager with a problem - she can see her ancestors’ ghosts. These ghosts want her to solve a 100-year old murder mystery, and they aren’t going to stop bothering her until she does. Between dodging cheerleader bullies at school and working as a cashier in her parent’s antique store, she tries to live a normal life of a teenager, complete with a crush on the cutest boy in high school.

    When Shannon begins researching the murders at the local library, someone takes notice. An explosion at her home takes away what she holds most dear - her parents. A secret society steps in and offers to help Shannon fine tune her psychic abilities and protect her from those bent on eliminating her. Not everyone wants the past drudged up, and they’re willing to pay any price to keep the truth, as well as her ancestors, dead and buried. Despite several attempts on her life, Shannon perseveres, determined to find out what secret could be worth killing for.
