Crime-fighting sisters Kerry and Terry McAfee are used to
nabbing killers while wearing high heels. But when their pal
Darby Applewhite—a.k.a. Ephemera, Queen of the Undead—hires
them to work crowd control at the annual Venice Goth Parade,
they find themselves sporting black jumpsuits and white
makeup instead. Ephemera plans to promote the opening of the
highly anticipated Dark Arts Galley by popping out of a
coffin just as the guests are brought inside. But when the
coffin lid rises, she pitches forward onto the street--and
Kerry and Terry are shocked to discover that the Queen of
the Undead is in fact dead after all! Suddenly the parade of harmless misfits is transformed into
a stream of potential suspects, and it’s up to the twins to
find their friend’s killer. Soon they’re plunged into a
nefarious world that includes dentists specializing in
prosthetic fangs and a goth cult led by a thug with a forked
tongue. Will threats scrawled on their Harley in blood and
amorous advances from sexy Detective John Boatwright derail
the twins from getting their ghoul? Not bloody likely.
