Spirits to Enforce

Charlee Maguire is providing a group of bankers through the Chufih Street Theatre, with entertaining tales of hauntings during the worst storm to hit Shelby County, Alabama in fifty years. After the rains and wind die down, she discovers the body of a magician known as Odilo, who performed at a casino down the street. With the help (or hindrance) of Lady Val Baudin, a 19th Century spirit who used to perform (and ply another trade) at the theatre, and a handsome suspect, Charlee searches for answers she hopes will lead her to Odilo's killer. But someone has other plans. In keeping with the traditions of magic, the murderer is determined to keep from revealing any secrets, including identify, even if Charlee ends up joining Lady Val as another Chufih Street Theatre ghost.
