The next chapter in the investigations of Zoe Martinique (next chapter after Wraith). While hiding in Daniel Frasier's hospital room, Zoe receives a request by a restaurant hostess to investigate an accident allegedly caused by ghosts, or more precisely, Shadow People. But when Zoe and Rhonda agree to check it out, they discover the hostess that requested them is missing and her ex-boyfriend, Dags McConnell, none other than the pantsless bartender Zoe once met at Fado's, has taken an interest in helping them. Especially after having seen the Shadow People himself. But this time Zoe's up against an old Magician and his coven determined to gain power over an ancient book of spells.
