A ghost on the telephone. A murder in the making. A switchboard operator determined to answer the call.
Newly arrived in Manhattan, Lottie Engel dreams of building a better life while sending every spare penny home to her ailing mother. As a telephone operator, she's expected to connect calls—not overhear deadly secrets.
Then a ghost appears in her switchboard.
The beautiful young woman insists Lottie listen to a single telephone line. What she overhears is a murder plot already in motion... and discovers the ghost was its very first victim.
With a killer preparing to strike again, Lottie finds herself swept into a dangerous investigation alongside the colorful residents of her boarding house, a charming immigration lawyer fighting for justice, a spirited band of union organizers, and one very determined ghost who refuses to rest until the truth is uncovered.
As corruption spreads through Gilded Age Manhattan, Lottie must stop a ruthless conspiracy before more innocent lives are lost.
Because some voices refuse to be silenced—even after death.
Perfect for readers who love cozy historical fantasy, paranormal mysteries, found family, slow-burn romance, amateur sleuths, Gilded Age intrigue, and ghosts with unfinished business.
