Ghosts have always been cruel to Loxley Fiddleback, especially the
spirit of her only friend, alive only hours before. Loxley isn't
equipped to solve a murder: she lives near the bottom of a
cutthroat, strip-mined metropolis known as "The Hole," suffers from
crippling anxiety and doesn't cotton to strangers. Worse still,
she's haunted. She inherited her ability to see spirits from the
women of her family, but the dead see her, too. Ghosts are drawn to
her like a bright fire, and their lightest touch leaves her with
painful wounds.

racing world--until she witnesses Mother murder a fellow racer.

only one lead: the killer also hunts Boots. On the wrong side of
the law, the two women board a smuggler's ship that will take them
on a quest for fame, for riches, and for justice.
