Some Like It Haunted
(2026)(The fourth book in the Psychic Cozy Mysteries series)
A novel by Zeph Baxter
Some ghosts want justice. This one wants a rescue.
Detective Marcus Adeyemi-Reyes doesn't believe in ghosts, which is a problem, because one has been standing at the foot of his bed every night for three weeks.
Boston's youngest gold-shield detective in a decade has tried everything: every psychic on Craigslist, every trick to talk himself out of what he's seeing. All he's gotten is tarot cards and a headache. Riza Strong, newly minted owner of Mulberry's first Psychic Investigation Agency, is his last, most reluctant option.
But the ghost isn't asking Marcus to solve her own murder. She's begging Riza to find someone else — a woman still alive, still missing, and running out of time, taken by someone who's spent years learning exactly how to disappear people nobody will go looking for.
With her cat Misty as her only real partner, a detective who needs to be proven wrong before he'll believe her, and a killer who's been hiding in plain sight the whole time, Riza has one shot to save a stranger's life before the clock — and the ghost's last thread of hope — runs out for good.
Perfect for fans of psychic cozy mysteries with a cat sidekick and a heroine who's used to not being believed.
Also by the author — Saving John Doe, Ghost of Mulberry Pines, and Big Trouble in Little Courthouse — each a complete mystery you can pick up and enjoy on its own, no matter where you start.
