It was the whistle of the train at midnight that signaled another ghost.

Jesse Graham wants to concentrate on planning her wedding to Joe Riley. But try as she might, she can’t escape the spirits who haunt her. This time, the ghost is Timmy, whose disappearance 10 years earlier coincided with the abduction of several boys. His family is convinced he drowned, but Jesse suspects something more sinister.

Until Timmy appeared, Jesse’s biggest problem was that her best friend, Maggie Keegan a.k.a. Sister Angelina, the Catholic nun, might not be allowed to be her maid of honor. But that pales in comparison to what Jesse faces now: Timmy was Maggie’s little brother.

And Jesse knows that if Timmy is ever to find peace, he needs to reveal the mystery of his disappearance - which could subject Maggie and her family to some painful secrets and truths.

As for Maggie? Well, she’s been navigating her own crisis of the heart and soul as she tries to deal with - and resist - her deepening feelings for local cop Marty D’Amato. Learning about Timmy’s appearances only drives her further into confusion and anguish, but pray as she might, she’s finding no answers.

To complicate things even more, Jesse’s investigation into the 10-year-old cold case has tapped into someone’s fear of being caught. She receives anonymous threatening notes, followed by a destructive attack on Bert, her beloved Volkswagen Beetle. And now, the mysterious assailant has escalated his attacks, putting Jesse in mortal danger.

It looks like this time her spectral encounter is too personal, and it may cost her a friendship. It may cost Jesse her life - unless the ghost of a seven-year-old boy can keep her safe.
