A Super Moon…A Monster’s Ball…and A Trail of Clues that Leads to Adventure! The gang is back! Jessie Delacroix and her ragtag posse of unlikely heroes crack another mystery wide open. But this time the real mystery is not the brutal demise of a guest at the Haunted Inn…which comes in the wake of the arrival of a mysterious bounty hunter of bizarre and paranormal creatures of the night. The real mystery is found in the journey that the clues lead Jessie, Ginny, Anika, and the others to…through the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror and Munich’s first Oktoberfest. Not only do they solve the murder, but they unravel the astonishing secrets and shocking history of the four individuals who came together to become the friendly and powerful shape shifter, Gus, who runs the antique pawnshop in the Inn. Join the team as Jessie, the unfaltering young proprietor of the Haunted Inn and Nirvana Tea Room (and a novice sorceress), follows the trail of clues with her beagle Arthur, her Granny’s ghost, a pair of very nice monsters, a Romanian witch, Moondance the cat (or is he?), and Ginny, her breakfast chef. With her folksy style, wit, and uncanny common sense, Ginny Vandersnoop keeps the fantastic story and the other sleuths grounded as they accompany a mystical couple through time and space to follow clues to the murder, sharing adventures and unlocking secrets along the way.

Constance Barker lives in the Midwest with her husband and two Akitas where she can look out from her screened porch onto a wooded area brimming with activity. Since she was a young girl she read mysteries, often given to her by her grandmother. She loved figuring out who the culprit was and sometimes she was right and other times startled at who the author picked as the assailant. Now she enjoys writing mysteries herself. When she isn't writing stories, she can be found in her favorite vacation spot, Las Vegas or shopping for bargains.
