Actress-turned-private investigator Sarah Booth Delaney has
left her beloved Mississippi small town of Zinnia for the
glitz and glamour of Hollywood, at least temporarily. She's
costarring with old flame Graf Milieu in a remake of Body
Heat. She's also escaping a broken heart from a failed
relationship. Maybe getting away will be good for her spirit
if nothing else. And Graf has turned into the man she wished
he had been years ago.
Sarah Booth finds Hollywood to be less than welcoming when a
threatening message is left on a bathroom mirror. When a
fire is deliberately set in the canyon outside her lodgings,
she wonders if someone has it in for her. Just before the
cast leaves for Costa Rica for filming she finds the body of
an actress who wanted the part Sarah Booth has. Was it
accident or murder? In Costa Rica the set is plagued by
pranks from the get-go—allegedly caused by the ghost of the
director's deceased wife. Is a human behind these tricks and
attacks? Sarah Booth knows from personal experience that
ghosts can't manipulate matter.
Does someone have a grudge against a cast or crew member?
Why does the ghost only appear to women? Will the film ever
get made with all the mayhem going on? Was the director,
Federico Marquez, responsible for his wife's untimely death?
With the help of her friends from Zinnia (and Jitty, her own
personal "haint"), Sarah Booth is determined to find the
answers to her questions. Will she survive long enough to
reveal the motive to all?

introduces readers to Sarah Booth's other love—acting.
