The ghost of a forgotten actor. A heroine who won't back down. A tragedy that demands a final act. Isla's unexpected inheritance of the Playhouse Theatre comes with more than dusty seats and faded scripts-it comes with a ghost. She is quickly drawn into a mystery as deep and dark as the trapdoor that once led to a popular actor's untimely death. With each step into the theater's haunted halls, Isla uncovers long-forgotten secrets and faces threats from those who wish to bury the truth along with the past.
As the anniversary of the tragedy approaches, Isla must piece together clues from the past to solve the mystery and end a soul's suffering. Surrounded by shadows, secrets, and a secret society, Isla finds that some doors, even trapdoors, should never be opened.
This prequel novel begins when Isla Reed inherits her great-great aunt's theatre.
