Miss Lucy's Ghost — James Beard

Even before young Jamey Hart moves to Saint Steven, a murderer is hard at work. He is a rich and powerful man and discovers an affair between his wife and his best friend. He consults a local witch and they carefully plan their two murders which he executes. Both appear to be accidents to everyone except local detective Grady Pruunes. Grady is closing the net on the murderer when money and power cause the case to be closed. When young Jamey Hart arrives, and Miss Lucy begins to appear in his dreams, the killer becomes frightened by what Jamey may learn from a ghost. He decides Jamey must be eliminated and sets his mind to do so. It's up to Grady and Miss Lucy to protect Jamey. A clean fun read with Christian values. No profanity.
