But Mrs. Decker is convinced and, unbeknownst to Sarah, returns to the Waverly Place town house for another seance. Only this time, one of the attendees doesnt succeed in speaking to the dead - she joins them. Now, its up to Sarah and Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy to protect Mrs. Decker from scandal. But first, they have to determine how a woman was murdered in the pitch dark when all the suspects were holding the hands of the persons next to them.
