San Antonio, 1915. Young widow Hedda Krause checks into the Menger Hotel with jewels, fine clothes and a plan to secure a wealthy husband. After an apparition draws her from her room and her jewellery disappears, suspicion falls on Hedda, even as admirers begin giving her valuables in the hope of attracting the hotel ghost again.
In 2017, magician and ghost-tour guide Dini Blackstone treats Hedda’s story as an elaborate long-running confidence trick. Quinn Carmichael, descendant of the detective who investigated the theft, arrives with evidence that may instead prove Hedda was wronged. Their inquiry tests the difference between a profitable legend and the complicated woman hidden behind it.
