A renovation project with a history—and a mystery

Nashville carpenter Whitney Whitaker takes on the rehabilitation of an antebellum livery stable, a project complicated by rumors that the building was once part of the Underground Railroad. The restoration brings together questions of preservation and the site’s past, until a local journalist covering the work is found dead on the property. As the eighth House-Flipper mystery, the book ties its investigation to a real-estate renovation and a historically significant setting; the description notes several possible motives but does not identify them.
