Publisher's Synopsis
Amateur sleuth Geneva Pomolo and her best friend, Iris Reeves, are summoned to an old country estate where an elderly man insists he's being stalked by ghosts from his past. The obscenely wealthy Codger Hiccumph is superstitious, friendless, and resentful... and he's got more than one family member who would happily kill to inherit his palatial home.Geneva and Iris examine the house and find no evidence of supernatural activity. Geneva is convinced the old man is delusional or a fraud ... until an untimely fall down the stairs sends him to his death. While the police rule his death an accident, Geneva and Iris are convinced he was killed. Everyone they interview has a reason for wanting him dead: the doting nurse who supplies him with illicit substances... the disgruntled cousin who feels the house should have gone to him years ago... the self-indulgent, self-pitying son who laments that his father never loved him... the innocent college student who visits the house for a class assignment. The more sordid history Geneva and Iris uncover, the more they feel sure they're dealing with a vengeful killer... Their own safety is threatened, as the killer will stop at nothing to keep secrets from coming to light.
