| Publisher Description: Elvis Blue just turned sixteen and struggles with the challenges of becoming a man. In the small town of Hillsborough, North Carolina, there aren't a lot of opportunities for young kids who come from the wrong side of the tracks, especially kids with an alcoholic father and immigrant mother. He is also dealing with the unfamiliar emotions that go with finding his first love in neighborhood girl Maria Palmero. Together with his best friend Monk and loyal puppy Sherlock, Elvis decides to embark on a ghost-hunting career to find his fame and fortune.
Elvis chooses the most haunted place in the county to start the hunt, the rickety old Simmons mansion. Rumors still swirl in town about Josiah Simmons who went on a crazy murder spree forty years ago. No one knows how many people Josiah killed or where he buried his legendary fortune, but Elvis and his friends are determined to find out.
The kids hit an obstacle right off the bat. Somebody else is interested in the old Simmons mansion. Despite warnings, they pursue the investigation and stumble into the middle of another mystery. There is a new killer stalking the town now and the bodies are rapidly piling up. Elvis and his friends must learn how to deal with a lot of devious people and find more clues while handling all of their problems at home.
Unseen danger threatens at every turn, but they learn to support each other and muddle through it. His courage and character are put to the test, and Elvis always comes through. In the end, they will find the ghost, discover the treasure, and then confront the killer. But in order to live through it, Elvis must face his fears and figure it all out.

Contributor Bio(s): Roberts, Lee: - I was born and raised in the southern United States, but I have traveled to many other places in the world. I find the different people and cultures fascinating. My education and work experience began with accounting and finance. But as with everything else, it has gradually evolved more and more to computers and information technology. Our lives today are centered on talking with each other through the flows of bits and bytes. More than twenty years ago, I started writing stories to capture all of the interesting thoughts and impressions lurking in my imagination. These stories became an important part of my life and I decided to share this by creating fictitious people and places in my mind. These people could say and do anything that I had ever seen or thought about. They are all very real to me with their own unique personalities, motivations, and quirks. They live in my head every day, and through the magic of books, I can share all of it with you. Today, I am the luckiest man on the planet. I am married to a beautiful lady from Colombia and I'm the proud father of some wonderful children. I love animals, mysteries, and salsa music. Life is a very precious thing. Take time to ride a Harley, smoke a pipe, eat a taco, cuddle with a cat, or drink a cup of tea. Enjoy every moment of it with me. |
