Private eye Jim Knighthorse just wanted a quiet vacation with his girlfriend Cindy at a quaint seaside inn in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Ocean views, overpriced seafood, and absolutely no dead bodies. That was the plan. But when a woman is found murdered in a locked hotel room -- with a sand dollar placed delicately in her mouth -- Jim's plans vanish like fog over the Pacific. The victim is a ghost from the past, hiding under an alias, and the inn is packed with quirky guests, each more suspicious than the last. Someone here is lying. Someone here is watching. And someone might just be next. Armed ...

It's Lorcan's and my anniversary and I'm determined to make it a night to remember. That might not sound like such a big deal, but I'm a witch, which means I haven't been trained in the art of romance.
