The Shade of Santa Fe

A bridge of sorrow. A spirit who won’t rest.

When Ellen McManius impulsively purchases a mid-century fixer-upper in Santa Fe as a private art retreat, she hopes for solitude—time to rediscover herself in a new marriage and in a city famous for reinvention.

Instead, she discovers that her property borders a ravine known locally as Suicide Bridge.

The first cry for help comes at dusk. A woman’s voice from below the bridge. A name whispered through the darkness: Angie Cole.

Ten years earlier, Angie was found hanging from the bridge under circumstances ruled a suicide—though not everyone believed it. As Ellen, Sue, and Tanya dig deeper into the tragedy, they uncover a disturbing pattern of deaths tied to the bridge . . . and a second presence watching from the shadows.

A young Japanese American soldier. A wrongful imprisonment. A history Santa Fe tried to forget.

As Ghost Healers, Inc. confronts both personal change and political injustice, they must untangle two restless spirits bound to the same ground—one seeking peace, the other demanding remembrance.

But some wounds are older than a house.

And some bridges were never meant to be crossed alone.
