Optical delusions in Deadwood

the long version

"Someone was spreading rumors around Deadwood that Violet Parker was chatting with dead folks. Cash-strapped and desperate, Violet jumps at the chance to sell a vintage house with a dark history. All she has to do is convince people it isn't haunted. Her only hope of hanging on to her job is to prove that the so-called ghostly sightings are merely the eccentric owner's optical delusions. But someone--or something--in the house wants Violet stopped ... dead."--Back cover
