Rory McCain, a police sketch artist, has inherited her uncle's PI agency and his renovated home.  When she moves in, she is also presented with the resident ghost, Zeke Drummond who insists that he help her when she decides to work on one of the cases that was left open by her uncle's sudden death.

This was a great start for a new cozy mystery series - the two major characters are well-written and the story had the clues interwoven quite cleverly.  Definitely looking forward to the next in the series.
