Dahlia Dutton knows the salvage business. Her family’s company dismantles historic homes piece by piece, and she’s seen her share of decay. But nothing prepares her for the Withrow estate.
Hired to strip the sprawling Chattanooga property, Dahlia and her crew arrive expecting old wood, antiques, and profit. What they find is a house that feels alive. Rooms whisper. Shadows stretch. And the cemetery left off the paperwork hints at secrets Augusta Withrow never intended to share.
As the team pries into the home’s bones, the past refuses to stay buried. Something angry lingers inside, growing bolder by the day. For Dahlia, it’s no longer just about salvage. It’s about survival. Cherie Priest’s The Family Plot delivers a chilling modern haunted-house tale.
