A larky ghost hunt in a historic old cemetery on St Simons Island, Georgia, turns deadly, when, at the stroke of midnight, one of the hunters is viciously stabbed in the back with an antique Spanish dagger from Heron Point, the stately antebellum mansion where owners Beau and Chattie Richmond have been holding one of their celebrated house parties. St. Simons Island is rocked by more murders while plucky young Ann Carroll, Atlanta debutante turned interior decorator and a cousin and guest of Beau's and Chattie's, tries to crack a complex case and catch a fiendish killer. Ann might just find romance along the way too-if she survives! A close friend of Margaret Mitchell (1900-1949), the famous author of one of the most successful novels in history, Gone with the Wind (1936), Medora Field Perkerson (1892-1960) published two bestselling mystery novels in 1939 and 1942 that are now back in print after many decades. This reprint edition includes an introduction by Curt Evans (The Passing Tramp blog).
