It takes more than a lurid legend to scare off the League of Literary Ladiesβ¦
For Halloween, the Literary Ladies have chosen to read Washington Irvingβs spooky classic, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, with its infamous headless horseman. But South Bass Island has its own headless legendβof a Prohibition bootlegger named Charlie βSleepyβ Harlow.
Decapitated by rival rumrunners, Harlow appears once a year in spectral form to search for his noggin.
This October, the Elkhart Ghost Getters (EGG) have returned to the island. The group claims that they have film footage of Harlowβs ghost, and are determined to get more. Theyβre staying at Bea Cartwrightβs B and B, but itβs Kate Wilder who isnβt happy to see them after they trashed her winery last year.
When the EGG leader turns up dead, Kate becomes the prime suspect, and the other League members need to scramble to crack the case.
