Beau Bones is as honest as you'll let him be. At twenty-three he doesn't believe in aliens, vampires, ghosts, or himself. He's a skeptic, he's paid to not believe; Beau is the voice of reason, the devil's advocate, he's the one no one ever listens to. So when paranormal researcher and professional pretty boy Zap Laughlin shows up to turn him into a superstar (and maybe get into his pants) almost everyone loses their collective mind. Especially Beau. When one of the most haunted places in Louisiana is burned to the ground, all fingers are quick to snap Beau's direction. He's a bright boy with a smart mouth, he knows what it looks like. Beau also knows Pontayune Plantation might be the one ghost story even he can't debunk.
