Edwina “Edie” Nunn inherits remote Maundrell Castle in northwest Scotland and moves there with her teenage daughter, Neve. The castle is crowded with ghosts, and one frightened spirit draws Edie toward the mystery of the priceless Maundrell Red diamond. With Samhain approaching—the date of earlier family tragedies—mother and daughter must uncover the truth before history repeats itself.
