Carly and Austin Tabor relocated from the Mile High City of Denver to the Low Country of Charleston, purchasing a diamond-in-the-rough home on historic King Street. As soon as the couple takes possession of their home, unexplained noises and a trio of spirits lead Carly to seek the help of sensitive, Delaney Warrick, to understand why the ghosts are unable to find rest.
Searching through the historical records of the city, Delaney learns the ghosts are the original owners, Andrew and Celeste Pettigrew, who were murdered in Carly's front parlor two hundred years prior. Carly and Delaney must solve the mystery of why the couple’s home is also being haunted by the surly dock worker, Benjamin Hastings.
Carly and Delaney enlist the help of paranormal investigators to find out why the ghosts won't leave the scene of their murders, and find that a fourth spirit, orphan Freddy Richards, was hiding in the house when the murders took place. Is Freddie the final piece to the puzzle? Will Carly and Delaney unlock the secrets that will free the spirits to find peace?

Advance Praise
“Lori Roberts’ outstanding supernatural mystery weaves together Charleston's early history with a story of intrigue and crime to both educate and entertain the reader. Set against the backdrop of historic Charleston, the tale brings to light the darker side of the port city's early days as a young couple struggles to make a home in this house full of unsettled spirits.”
– Donna Gayle Akers, author of Legends, Stories and Ghostly Tales of Abingdon and Washington County, Virginia and other historical nonfiction.
“I love stories that draw me in slowly and then―wham―they’ve got you! Cries in the Night does just that. Starting with the renovations and then escalating when the Tabors move into their new home, a battle wages between spirits, who do everything in their limited power to drive the new occupants away, and the Tabor’s, who are determined to do whatever it takes to bring peace, laying claim to a happy home. A gripping story of ghostly suspense!”
