Delicious blends of tea aren’t the only draw at the Chintz ’n China Tea Room—Emerald O’Brien, owner and medium, also offers her customers a tarot-card reading. But Emerald, a single mother of two, never saw herself as a sleuth—which proves that even seers make mistakes…

It’s harvest time in Chiqetaw, Washington—Emerald O’Brien’s favorite season. But this year, nature yields a most supernatural bounty. When Em and her sweetie, Joe, stumble over a bramble-covered foundation that has remained hidden for fifty years in the lot next door, strange events begin to occur. The cat vanishes. Will-o’-the-wisps threaten to harm Emerald and her loved ones. And the ghost of a woman named Brigit and her beloved calico make themselves at home in the backyard. Now it’s up to Em and her friends to delve into the past, revealing the secrets of the dead, laying them to rest—and ringing in the autumn with a harvest of bones.
