Librarian Lucy's new historic house is laden with family secrets that threaten her happiness in the 9th Lighthouse Library mystery. Spring has arrived in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and Lucy and Connor have finally moved into their historic cottage on Nags Head Beach.

However, their peaceful life is shattered when a dead body is discovered. On her first night alone with Charles, the library cat, Lucy hears unsettling noises. Investigating, she finds dusty footprints in the living room and an open door, recalling the house's haunted reputation—forty years ago, the teenage daughter of the owners vanished without a trace.

To uncover the truth behind the past and its implications for her future, Lucy must delve into the history of the house.
