The House on Fifth Street
A Bailey Rae Mystery
When Bailey Rae Vaughn inherits a weathered Victorian on Fifth Street in Galveston, she expects dust, memories, and maybe a few family secrets.
What she finds instead is a house that feels…watchful.
Inside, her great-aunt Midori’s belongings sit untouched, stacks of papers, quilts, and fragments of a past no one ever fully explained. Hidden among them are clues to a buried history tied to a long-forgotten community that someone would rather keep erased.
Then a squatter is found dead on her porch.
As developers close in on Fifth Street and the land beneath it, Bailey realizes this is no ordinary inheritance. With her sharp-witted best friend Lorna at her side, a keen-eyed Maine Coon named Captain Morgan nearby, and a neighborhood that seems to know more than it says, she must uncover the truth before it disappears for good.
Because this is not just about a house.
It is about history. It is about legacy.
And someone is willing to kill to erase both.
