It takes more than a lurid legend to scare off the League
of
Literary Ladies…
For Halloween, the Literary Ladies have chosen to read
Washington Irving’s spooky classic, The Legend of Sleepy
Hollow, with its infamous headless horseman. But South
Bass
Island has its own headless legend—of a Prohibition
bootlegger named Charlie “Sleepy” 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 Harlow’s ghost, and are determined to get more. They’re
staying at Bea Cartwright’s B and B, but it’s Kate Wilder
who isn’t 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.
