For veteran paranormal investigator Maureen Keslyn, nothing is more invigorating than hunting down and ending a dangerous paranormal adversary. Fortunately, life at Shadow Valley Manor tends to be a little more...interesting...than the experience at your average retirement community.

Right now, though, even Maureen has to admit that things are getting out of hand. The bizarre murder of one of her elderly residents is only the beginning. How is she supposed to focus on tracking down the killer when there's a spider-loving middle-schooler underfoot? Worse, she's acquired an unwelcome roommate?an elderly woman with dementia and a penchant for walking through walls.

Maureen is ever resourceful, but the death count keeps rising despite the best efforts of her team. With the life of a child hanging in the balance, she is forced to take extraordinary measures?but will they be enough?
