Driving along a lonely stretch of road in the north Georgia Mountains, private investigator James Mitchell swerves to avoid hitting a young lady—only to have her mysteriously vanish into the woods. Stopping to repair his flat tire, he discovers a diamond ring with an inscription: "To Sara, with Love." The discovery leads James to the nearby town of Archer, Georgia, and to an investigation into the death of two local teenagers. As events unfold and clues begin to add up, James soon finds that everything in Archer is not as it seems, and the mystery of  The Victorian Ghost will be much more shocking than he could have imagined.
