In this latest installment of the Counterfeit Lady series, newlywed Elizabeth Bates returns from her honeymoon, eager to leave her disreputable past behind. However, her friend Anna Vanderslice implores her to use her skills to help Anna's widowed mother, who has fallen prey to a deceitful medium. In the wake of the war and flu epidemic, séances have surged in popularity as grieving families seek to connect with lost loved ones. Anna's mother has been attending these gatherings in hopes of reaching her deceased son, David, but her obsession has led to significant financial strain. The medium, Madame Ophelia, is part of a ring of con artists exploiting vulnerable New Yorkers. With several victims already affected, Elizabeth realizes that merely exposing the medium won't recover the lost money; she must outsmart the con artists themselves. Enlisting the help of Gideon, her aunt Cybil, and her partner Zelda, Elizabeth faces the challenge of deceiving seasoned frauds. As they navigate this dangerous game, the stakes rise—will their plan succeed, or will their efforts to communicate with the dead lead to dire consequences?
