It takes more than a lurid legend to scare off the League of Literary Ladiesโฆ
For Halloween, the Literary Ladies have chosen to read Washington Irvingโs spooky classic, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, with its infamous headless horseman. But South Bass Island has its own headless legendโof a Prohibition bootlegger named Charlie โSleepyโ 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 Harlowโs ghost, and are determined to get more. Theyโre staying at Bea Cartwrightโs B and B, but itโs Kate Wilder who isnโt 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.
