Ghost of a Chance

When a flamboyant tabloid reporter declares that a bizarre string of locked-room murders are the work of a vengeful ghost, it plunges New York into a panic. Frustrated and out of leads, the police reluctantly turn to their magical consultant, private detective Alex Lockerby, to solve the case. Unfortunately Alex's magic hasn't been working very well of late. He can't even manage to track down several truckloads of stolen goods, including a missing electric motor belonging to the Lightning Lord, New York's preeminent sorcerer, Andrew Barton. Worse, one of his clients is being stalked by a mysterious group with powers Alex has never seen before. With his clients and the tabloids demanding results, and the ghost seeming to murder at will, Alex will have to use every trick in his spell book to keep himself, his client, and his reputation alive.
