Mystery of the Eyewitness Ghost offers a thrilling and clean adventure that's perfect for middle-grade readers and up. Nick Caden, known for solving mysteries with a supernatural twist, finds himself confronted by a "ghost" who claims to know the identity of his killer. But when he looks into the circumstances, he discovers a "fake fortune teller" may be behind the odd apparition in Bonaventure Cemetery. On a stormy evening, Nick learns that dabbling in the occult can have you chasing spooks in the night.
Nick has a knack for debunking mysterious supernatural "monster" myths. By examining the facts and dismissing the rumors surrounding ghosts, vampires, zombies, and werewolves, he relies on his favorite cop and detective shows to uncover the truth. But when a "ghost" rises from a grave and accuses his neighbor Keisha of murder, Nick is forced into an unlikely partnership with Jaz, a teen who swears there is a spirit realm we cannot see.
As Nick and Jaz race to find Keisha-the victim of a hit-and-run who is now missing-they rely on the mysterious "Sistah Séance," a Gullah woman who seems to have the ability to "bring up the dead." But as they delve deeper into the case, they uncover a dark world filled with new dangers, where every clue leads to more questions. Nick must use his detective skills to debunk the ghost myth while solving the case, revealing the haunting truth that awaits them.
As the pair race against time to find the ghost's real killer, the two teens find themselves entangled in a dark world where every clue leads to new dangers and uncovers the haunting truth that awaits them. When the only eyewitness to a murder is a ghost, who do you believe?
