Halloween is approaching in Mossglen, and Alba Brodie is looking forward to her first Highland Samhain celebration when a delivery from a decades-old Edinburgh estate sale brings an unexpected houseguest to The Cairn & Curiosity. Sir Whiskers arrives with impeccable Victorian manners, unshakeable aristocratic dignity, and one significant complication—he's been dead for forty years, though apparently no one bothered to inform him of this minor detail.

As Halloween draws near and the barriers between worlds grow thin, Sir Whiskers' ghostly presence begins affecting the entire village. Sensitive residents report strange dreams, mysterious cold spots appear throughout the shop, and even opinionated Noodle finds himself grudgingly impressed by the phantom feline's supernatural persistence to maintain proper household standards.

When Sir Whiskers' unfinished business threatens to disrupt Mossglen's traditional Samhain celebrations, Alba must help a phantom cat find peace while managing her increasingly exasperated ferret partner. Some mysteries require delicate negotiation between the living and the dead—and some partnerships prove that even temporary alliances can be deeply meaningful.
