The Fifth Farewell

In a fog-wrapped coastal town, a licensed agency called The Lighthouse Bureau lets grieving clients hire 'Reflections'—trained strangers who become the dead for five regulated sessions of closure, then vanish forever. Mira Kessler is the Bureau's finest performer until she's cast as Elena Marsh, the drowned fiancée of shipwright Julian Voss, and by the fourth session she can no longer tell if she's acting love or falling into it. With one session left and a secret that could unmake everything she believes about Elena's death, Mira must decide whether the truth will set Julian free—or cost her the only real thing she's ever felt.
