The Legislative Echo. Haunted Homes & Hearts, #5

After successfully exposing a corporate killer, paranormal consultant Sloane Monroe and her partner, Caleb Sterling, are drawn to a new echo of deep historical injustice: the Georgia State House. Sloane is hired by the Gaines family to investigate a century-old land theft, using her new status as a paranormal investigator to access restricted archives. The building is haunted by Elias Smythe, an 1890s servant whose echo manifests as a chilling whisper from a bronze statue of the town's founder, Senator Silas Devereaux, muttering, "only the best of Georgia allowed."Elias was brutally hanged and thrown from a State House balcony by Devereaux after threatening to expose the Senator's plot to steal the land of thirty poor Black families to populate the town with the wealthy elite.
Elias's spectral agony fuels the haunting, demanding a public reckoning. Caleb must use his Historical Renovation business to battle political bureaucracy and the current State Representative, Buddy Devereaux, to gain access to the founder's statue. With the help of Elias's coded journal, Sloane must locate the original fraudulent town charter hidden within the statue's base, risking her new career to amend a century of injustice and finally ensure the true founders of the town are acknowledged and celebrated.
