Young widow Hedda Krause checks into the Menger Hotel in 1915 hoping to find a new, rich husband. Her plans are derailed when a ghostly apparition of a long-ago murdered chamber maid lures her into a long, dark hallway, and Hedda returns to her room to find her precious jewelry has been stolen. While she falls under suspicion for perpetrating a hoax, she also falls under the spell of the handsome detective pursuing the truth.
 
A century later, Dini Blackstone, a fifth-generation magician, gives ghost walk tours, narrating the more tragic historical events of San Antonio with familial affection. And she is obsessed with the story of Hedda Krause. When she meets Quinn Carmichael, great-great-grandson of that charming detective, his box of clues will help to solve the century-old mystery, and rekindle the long-lost romance.
