Dead Man Talking

● "When her cousin Katy calls looking for help with the resident ghost at Espirt d'Chene, the family mansion near Jefferson, Alice agrees to come to the rescue. Sir Gary Gavin, dead now over two hundred years, insists Alice is the only one who can expose his undeliberate murder to allow him to leave his tortured existence; and he's not above wreaking havoc at Espirt d'Chene until Alice concedes to his demands. Before Alice can even pack, though, Katy discovers a new murder—a headless corpse floating in her swimming pool. This new ghost—is dangerous in his newly-dead, confused state as he searches the plantation for his head." ― paraphrased from this book's product page on Amazon.com as 2025-06-19.
