About the Book
"Charles Rowland and Edwin Paine have been detectives for decades--and dead best friends even longer. But their investigation into a Thai-American girl's disappearance from her Los Angeles home puts them on a collision course with new and terrifying ghosts that could give even a dead boy nightmares--including a bloodthirsty krasue. Even scarier than the ghosts? Though neither wants to admit it, the boys might be growing apart. And perilously close by to the boys' adventure, Thessaly the witch finds herself held hostage by dangerous magics--both a threat to her life and an insult to her ego that simply will not go unanswered"--Book Synopsis
