Ghosts are migrating from the west coast across America's heartland to New York City. These aren't your garden variety lost souls. These are the spirits of evil men who have been raised from their coffins to follow a man who struck terror in the lives of those who dared seek out the American dream. Lorna Grainger and Tonia Toh have been dealing with these creatures alone since the disbandment of the Council of Women. They are overrun and need help.

Mia, Murphy and PEEPs travel to Virginia City where they hope to stop the flow of energized spirits and find out why they are migrating in the first place. When the ghosts start arming themselves, John Ryan and the federal task force under the command of Whitney Martin enter the equation.

Is this unrest a planned attack on the living or is it just smoke and mirrors?

Meanwhile, back at home, Brian accidentally brings home a ghost...

Smoke and Mirrors is the 31st book of the Haunted Series.
