Divorcee, Gabbie Meyerson, moves to the sleepy town of Chrissom Harbor, Long Island, to start over and teach English at the local high school. Once she settles into her rental cottage above the Sound, however, she discovers she has an unusual housemate?the ghost of Cameron Leeds, who used to live in the cottage. Cam insists his death was no accident, and implores Gabbie to find out who murdered him.
After she recovers from her initial shock, she agrees to investigate.
What she learns from residents is that Cam was the town daredevil, playboy, and wheeler-dealer. His four closest friends are angry because he deceived them in a land deal. They each have a personal reason to hate him, as well. And then there's his lover's husband. No shortage of suspects.
Despite what she hears about his character, Gabbie finds herself growing fond of Cam and continues to help him, at what might be a great risk to herself.
