Allegra Fairweather is pulled into a city that hums with unseen currents, where every shadow holds a trace of a story and every street rumor hints at the next clue. She tracks disturbances that blur the line between the living and the spectral, guided by a keen instinct and a stubborn belief that answers hide in ordinary moments. The case opens through a series of odd, seemingly unrelated phenomena: a clock that runs backward in a quiet apartment, a lighthouse that never shines at night, whispers only Allegra can hear. As she gathers fragments, she uncovers a pattern that ties these echoes to a single, perilous history, and a personal past she has avoided facing. The investigation becomes a test of trust, wit, and resolve, showing how a stubborn investigator can rewrite a future by naming the truth in the present.
