Dedication

Dedicated to my husband, Bob, who has stood by me through thick and thin, even during my darkest hours while I was experiencing several serious health crises. And also to my two stepdaughters, Roxanne Zarda and Stacey Glidewell, for all the joy they have brought to my life, and for giving Bob and I the most wonderful grandchildren in the world.

Acknowledgements

I’d like to thank my editor, and wonderful and prolific author, Alice Duncan, of Roswell, New Mexico, and eBook Prep and ePublishing Works for allowing me to spend my time writing while they handled all the intricacies of producing eBooks. I’d also like to express my gratitude to all my family and friends for their support of my writing career.

Chapter 1

“Somebody killed the dead guy!” I heard my daughter, Wendy, shout from the parlor, as something large made a loud thud on the floor. “Come quickly, Mom!”

“What? What did you say?” I shouted back. Surely I was suffering from temporary deafness. I removed the earbuds of my iPod so I could hear more clearly. I’d been listening to George Strait and pinning up a graphic of a ghost in the library, when I’d heard the noise.

“Come into the parlor! The young man, Walter I think is his name, is dead. Really dead!” Wendy yelled. “And I mean really, really dead. Stiff-as-a-board dead! I just spoke to him a little over an hour ago, and he seemed fine at the time. Now he’s dead.”
