Ghost Wood Song

Shady Grove knows her father’s fiddle can summon the dead. She also knows its music carries danger, making his gift an inheritance she cannot treat lightly. When her brother is accused of murder, however, the possibility of questioning ghosts becomes too important to ignore. Clearing his name means drawing answers from people who can no longer speak for themselves, and those answers may expose more than one family secret. Meanwhile, Shady’s feelings for her bandmate Sarah and the musician Cedar complicate an already uncertain life. In this Southern gothic mystery, music offers a route toward truth, but using it means inviting darkness close enough to listen—and deciding what to do with what it reveals.
