The Pumpkin Head Affair Laura Harrison McBride

Shelf Barker, not the world's greatest detective...just the world's detective who gets himself into the greatest number of unusual spots...with hilarious results. Needless to say, Halloween is a special time of year for Shelf and is wife and his ex-wife and his two loyal pets. Also needless to say, Shelf finds himself in a predicament very close to the witching hour, a predicament including a Jack-O'-Lantern that contains a deadly surprise, and a pack of disembodied souls that won't leave HIS house until he grants THEIR wishes. Odd? Topsy-turvy? Sure. But everything in Shelf's world is a bit off-kilter. Join Shelf, his wife, Polly, and his ex-wife, Chloe, as he chisels his way out of a riotous adventure that takes him from Norwich, UK, to the Bronx, NYC, and back again and stands to make him a wealthy man as well. Not bad for a few days' work, right?
