| Plot Summary of On Ghost Trails |
|---|
"Trevor Langley is a down-on-his-luck, lovelorn PI who's getting fed up with constantly being hired to put the tail on the dregs of society. He longs for two things at this juncture of his life: a fresh slant toward his work and finding the woman of his dreams.
Well, Trevor's about to get both wishes granted as Julia Forest enters his life one hot, summer night bearing a photo that starts Trevor on the most bizarre case of his career.
Before the week is out, he'll uncover a plot that targets someone near and dear to Julia, his new love interest; meet up with the spirit of a little girl who, unbeknownst to him, holds a very special place in his own genealogical tree; and try to thwart a group of fanatics bent on resurrecting a heinous ritual - all culminating in a monumental battle between the forces of good and evil on the eve of summer solstice, with him thrown dead center into all the action. Could any PI looking for a fresh slant to his work ask for more?
