Deadline — Charles Ray

Al is asked by a reporter friend to help research a century-old case of murder-suicide. At the old mansion where the incident took place, Al encounters a pint-sized woman with a gigantic libido and designs on his body. Worse, there's an alleged stash of gold somewhere in the house, a ghost supposedly protecting it, and two murderous con men who are willing to kill to get it. A routine research job quickly turns into a dangerous confrontation in a darkened basement - a confrontation that Al's not sure he will survive.
