In 1920s Honduras, Suyapa’s husband is dead and everyone on the fruit plantation is whispering that his killer is an ancient, man-hunting creature. She knows better than to believe such a thing... but she just can’t shake her curiosity about la Siguanaba. Meanwhile, the new American boss is here to make some changes on the plantation, but he finds that there are forces more powerful—and frightening—than the United Fruit Company.

In this Victorian ghost tale, when they last saw each other John, Bernice, and Kate were close friends caught up in a love triangle—and when Bernice's heart was broken, she left for medical school without another word. Now Bernice comes to Hurstcote to finally put the past to rest—until the friends' happy reunion is cut short by a sudden, fatal illness. Bernice's rational principles are challenged when her best friend insists that mysticism can trap the soul in its body—or is this haunting just a feverish delusion?
