Spending the holidays with Mallory Pope has given Detective
Lieutenant TJ Locke a new outlook on life. He’s let go of the past and looks
forward to his future. However, his perfect idyll with Mallory is interrupted
on the night of the Winter Festival Fundraiser, when a reveler is found lying
on the rocks under the seawall.
Mrs. Bunny Harrowdale, one of the wealthiest
women in Nannaquonset, had few enemies. However, strange things had been
happening on her estate and she swore the place was haunted.
When TJ begins his investigation, he has no reason to
believe in ghosts. Harrowdale’s children are convinced their late father is
trying to stop their mother’s estate from allowing Re-HOME of Nannaquonset to
inherit twenty million dollars. TJ is convinced the son and daughter are
suspects one and two. A nephew from out-of-town—number three.
Mallory can speak to the dead, but it seems the ghost of
Bunny’s husband Denton Harrowdale isn’t talking. They say a picture is worth a
thousand words, and when the photographers upload their files from the event—TJ
thinks the killer is standing right next to Bunny.
Problem is it’s Denton Harrowdale.
