Stolen Ghouls — Alex A. King

STOLEN GHOULS is the third book in the Greek Ghouls series: a comedic mystery set in Greece and steeped in ouzo.

Life is turning a strange corner for Allie Callas, owner of Finders Keepers, a company dedicated to scoring the ungettable gets and finding things that want to stay lost. Too bad she can't get Leo Samaras, hot cop and stubborn mule, a new pair of eyes. Leo can't see Allie's favorite cake shop -- it exists, really it does -- but the one thing they both agree on is that there's a cooling body on the Cake Emporium's floor.

Leo says heart attack. Allie says murder.

The dead man's ghost says murder, too. With a mouth like a drunken sailor and the personality of smallpox, it's hard to imagine who'd want to kill the man. But Allie's having a tough time figuring out whodunit. The foul tempered victim was one step up from a recluse, and Allie can't dig up even one suspect.

If that's not annoying enough, Allie is being stalked by … by … well, she's not sure exactly, but the invisible nothing can sure toss a cup of coffee and sling pots at her head.

With her source to all things woo-woo missing, Allie is fumbling around in a dark closet -- literally. Will she and Detective Samaras ever be on the same page long enough to make out? Why won't her neighbor wear more clothes? And what's with all the weird pink jars in her client's house?
