Selah Award Winner – Purple Dragonfly Book Award Honorable Mention
‘A whip-smart mystery series with a touch of paranormal and much-needed humor, realistic crime-scene drama plays out in each book, including this latest, when a girl goes missing and her brother is wrongfully imprisoned. Only this time, Nick’s brilliant wit and sleuthing skills are seriously tested when he is brought into a world of spiritualists, mediums, and ghosts coming back from the dead. In the spirit of Scooby-Doo, ‘Is it a ghost or not?’ and ‘Those meddling kids…, ‘ I highly recommend this series, especially for boys and reluctant readers.’ –Kim Childress, Book Editor, Girls’ Life Magazine
Nick Caden is no stranger to supernatural mysteries and paranormal phenomena. He and his buddies have been TV crime fans for years, which led to Nick solving his first murder case during an Old West ghost town family vacation when it seemed there wasn’t ‘a ghost of a chance’ of catching the killer.
His success landed Nick a job as a reporter for The Cool Ghoul Gazette, where he debunks all kinds of crazy, so-called paranormal murders. From uncovering the killer of a vampire to catching zombies and werewolves, Nick relies on truth, facts, and watching cop and detective shows to solve cases.
In this paranormal ‘ghost’ mystery, an all-star basketball player goes missing, her brother has been implicated in a murder, and ‘Sistah Séance, ‘ a Gullah woman on Georgia’s Sea islands, claims to ‘bring up the dead. Nick suspects this psychic-spiritualist is somehow involved, but his efforts to uncover the truth is hampered when local police insist he keep his distance from the case.
Preferring to work alone, Nick becomes annoyed when Officer Crowder demands he work with Jaz, Crowder’s teen relative, who has a ‘spiritual gift’ that allows her ‘to know things about the dead.’ As the pair race against time to find the ghost’s real killer, the two teens find themselves entangled in a dark world where every clue leads to new dangers and uncovers the haunting truth that awaits them.
When the only eyewitness to a murder is a ghost, who do you believe?
This time, Nick doesn’t have all the answers. But he does ask the right questions. And what he learns is worse than any lies a fake fortuneteller might pass off as truth.
