Dead Man Haunt (A Dead Man Mystery #2)

A Naked Ghost Demands Help in Dead Man Haunt, a Murder Mystery from T. L. Simmons

—Mineral Springs, Texas—

When Patrick, a gorgeous naked ghost, reaches out to author and paranormal investigator, Alice Carpenter and her cohorts for help, the small town of Mineral Springs, Texas, will never be the same. In exchange for helping him journey to the hereafter, Patrick leads Alice into a crumbling historical hotel, where she discovers a new murder—a woman severed in half at the bottom of an elevator shaft.

Joined by her Rottweiler, Trucker, her Siamese, Miss Molly, her mentor and teacher, Aunt Twila, her next-door neighbor, Granny Chisholm, and even her ex-husband, Detective Jack Roucheau, Alice attempts to solve these two murders. Together, they traverse the bowels of the haunted hotel, survive a hair-raising motorcycle ride, and journey the backcountry boondocks with Granny, who fantasizes she's an Indi-500 driver.

With only a few minutes left to expose the murderers and set the ghosts to rest before a bomb destroys the hotel, decisions are vital. Should they save themselves and leave behind the evildoers and restless ghosts, as well as a stolen body in a coffin? Might they risk their own lives to bring a peaceful existence to the formerly grand hotel?
