A Ghostly Christmas Present. The Clarke Lantham Mysteries, #2

You can't beat getting thrown in an out-of-state jail on a trumped up charge as a Christmas present, but detective Clarke Lantham loves a challenge. So when he calls up his brother for help with bail, he thinks he's prepared for the ordeal of spending a holiday weekend with relatives who put the "strange" back in "estranged."That was his first mistake. Unfortunately, with an old client gumming up the works, a ten-year-old niece with a ghost problem, and an occasional murder competing for his attention, it probably won't be his last.
