The Gravest of Gravestones
(2027)(The fourth book in the Ghastly Grimoire Mystery series)
A novel by Jeannie Wycherley
His future has been written. His grave has already been paid for.
When Zilla Chaplin’s grimoire reveals a gravestone bearing the name Alistair Rhaxeor, she assumes it is another mystery waiting to unfold.
Until she realises the stone already exists.
The inscription has been prepared. The records have been filed. And the date carved beneath his name is only days away.
Alistair Rhaxeor should be the last person Zilla wants to help, yet somebody appears to have arranged his death long before it happens. An invoice marked PAID IN FULL suggests a hidden system where endings are recorded, debts are collected, and the future may be less certain than anyone believes.
With Blue prowling at her side, Wizard Dodo dispensing his usual unwanted advice, and Humphrey drawn into yet another impossible investigation, Zilla must unravel a mystery that reaches beyond graveyards and into the quiet machinery that records life itself.
Because if the grave is ready and time is running out, somebody has already decided how this story ends.
And Zilla intends to prove them wrong.
