Roller Ghoster

I've seen a lot of ghosts in my time. Murder victims. The unjustly dead. One elderly woman who refused to accept she'd passed on because she still had bridge night on Thursdays.

What I have never seen before is a ghost who isn't dead yet.

Blonde ponytail. Pale pink coat. Plush rabbit dangling from her hand. She stood across the street outside the pharmacy, translucent and unmistakably dead.

Ten minutes later, she was solid. Very much alive. Handing me paper towels and introducing herself as Claire.

By that evening, she was dead.

As a private investigator — and Firefly Bay's unofficial ghost whisperer — I'm used to murder victims finding me after the fact. Not before.

At first, I tell myself I imagined it. Fatigue. Too much caffeine. A temporary glitch in whatever cosmic filing system runs the afterlife. But then it happens again. And again.

Now I'm seeing pre-ghosts — people who haven't died yet but somehow already have. Which means someone isn't just killing… they're planning.

With my ghostly best friend digging for answers, Thor protesting his dinner portions, Bandit stealing something she absolutely does not need, and my hot husband, Detective Kade Galloway, reminding me (repeatedly) that suspicion is not evidence, I'm racing a clock I can't see.

If I can identify the victims before they die…

Maybe I can stop the next murder.

Roller Ghoster is the eleventh book in the Ghost Detective paranormal cozy mystery series, featuring a ghostly best friend, a talking cat, small-town secrets, and a case that turns my ability on its head.
