A novel by Kristine Frost
Rylly hates Halloween with every fiber of her being.
Her nephew volunteers her to help with the Halloween fundraiser.
A recipe for disaster or something worse?
Due to the many traumatic pranks Rylly’s older brothers played on her when she was a child, she has a near phobia about Halloween. But when her nephew and his friends decide to hold a Halloween fundraiser so that the scholarship students can stay in school, she swallows her fear and agrees to help.
But Mr. MacPherson with his tests from hell has another idea. An idea that ratchets up the hate and discontent already rampant in the school. When he turns up dead right after he attacks Geraldine Smith, Homicide Detective, Lt. Rachel Kirk arrests John Walters, a close friend. As far as Rylly is concerned, this is a declaration of war.
When a student and a teacher disappear during the Halloween Carnival, Rylly must put aside her fears and discover who is behind Mr. MacPherson’s murder, the kidnapping and a bomb threat. Can she save the spook alley, the scholarship program and the holiday she hates?
