But they’re about to get much stranger.When Cass’s parents start hosting a TV show about the world’s most haunted places, the family heads off to Edinburgh, Scotland. Here, graveyards, castles, and secret passageways teem with restless phantoms.

The city of ghosts is more dangerous than she ever imagined.
