The Financial Echo

The past is calling, and the echo rings with greed. Real estate agent turned paranormal investigator Sloane Monroe is pulled from her quiet life by a new, powerful echo—not of melancholy, but of restless ambition and high-stakes corporate secrets. The source is the towering Corinthian Trust, a granite monolith of wealth and power downtown, currently undergoing an emergency renovation led by her partner, Caleb Sterling. The trapped soul is Evelyn Sterling, a brilliant executive from the 1980s who met a tragic end after exposing a massive insider trading scheme. Now, Evelyn's vengeful spirit communicates through cryptic stock ticker codes and a phantom phone ringing in her former office, desperate for justice. Sloane soon discovers that the powerful ghost's killer, the ruthless financier Marcus Thorne, is not only alive but still an influential partner in the firm. Posing as Caleb's consultant, Sloane is thrust into a dangerous world of high finance, risking her freedom and threatening to ruin Caleb's business if her corporate espionage is exposed. With Marcus watching her every move and the current CEO, Vivian Sterling, trying to protect her family's name, Sloane must decipher Evelyn's coded clues to find the crucial evidence—a hidden ledger—before the renovation destroys all traces of the past. To lay Evelyn to rest, Sloane and Caleb must risk their own future to confront a living killer whose greed is as lethal now as it was forty years ago.
