The Ghost Who Walked In The Garden

From the author of "The Ghost Who Came Home from the Auction," an exciting sequel... Olivia has a weakness for auctions-and ghosts. This is not the best of times, however, to be haunted by the tragic spirit of a young bride-just when Olivia has married the love of her life, Detective Dave Lowenstein, and taken on the daunting task of helping him raise his three teenage foster children. But when two impulsive auction buys-a locket and a man's marquetry case- get together in Olivia's possession, the past comes to life in an unsettling way. The ghost of a dark-haired girl is seen walking in Olivia's newly planted rose garden. Olivia, who admits to having a streak of OCD, cannot help herself from trying to find out why. What misfortune befell Rose and her husband, the handsome World War I officer, Hugh Berwind? It's not so easy to unearth the Berwind family secrets, and Olivia finds herself up against a stone wall more than once. She turns for help to a local librarian, Fiona Ritchie, who is reputed to have a "magic" way of finding the most obscure facts-and a circle of quirky friends who help her. As Olivia discovers, when Hugh was killed in action, Rose and her infant son were robbed of their rightful heritage by a greedy relative. The Berwind fortune is immense, and the current beneficiaries, the Swett siblings, do not take kindly to Olivia's research into the existence of lost heirs. In fact, the Swetts make arrangements for Olivia and her insistent queries to vanish from their lives-forever. Malevolent adversaries begin to stalk Olivia, who is unaware of the lengths to which the very rich will go to stay that way. Olivia's pursuit of the truth about the Berwinds leads her ever deeper into danger, climaxing in a terrifying confrontation. Only the unearthly forces who have plunged Olivia into peril may be able save her now.
