[Haunted 24] • Book of Souls

Beverly Cooper has gone missing. Not an unusual occurrence if you know Bev, but Gerald Shem is concerned enough to bankroll sending PEEPs and the entire Martin household to Alsace, France to search for her. Mia looks at this as an opportunity for her young family and her to meet their relatives, the Neyers, before joining PEEPs on the investigation.

PEEPs arrive under the guise of investigating Château Nocturne, the last known place Bev was seen. Angelo and Father Santos fill in for the Martins and Murphy for the first investigation. Within minutes, the ghosts of the château show themselves, and in doing so, Cid Garrett is deafened by their screams and must be taken to Angelo’s aerie to save his hearing. The investigation is scrubbed until Mia, Ted, and Murphy arrive to help out.

But this is more than a rescue mission and a paranormal investigation. There is something tying in Bev’s disappearance and the sanctuary the Neyers have run since the Roman Empire. On top of it, Mia’s intuition is off. She has developed the overwhelming fear that someone she trusts is trying to kill her. Is this a remnant of her past soul’s experience with the soul of her friend or a warning that this trip will end in her death?

Mia employs Cid to investigate whether she has a reincarnated soul and, if so, what happened to that soul to give her such horrible feelings. Only the “Book of Souls” has the answers…

This is the twenty-fourth novel of the “Haunted Series.”
