To do list: 1. Solve big case while boss is away. 2. Have serious relationship dramas. 3. Jump a river with a car.What the heck did I get myself into? My name's Jane Butterworth. For me, the paranormal is just a day job. I work at the Blue Moon Investigation Agency, a firm that specialises in cases that no one else will take, cases that start at strange and unexplainable and tier rapidly south from there.My boss, Tempest Michaels, is away dealing with a Yeti in France, but the enquiries keep coming so when Chief Inspector Quinn of the local police wants to hire the firm as special consultants, I sign us up and take it on myself.But a swamp monster?Really?Bodies of dead cops have been showing up in nearby Biddenden Lake, the site of an unexplained death three years ago. Is there a link between that death and these? The whole area is steeped in ancient history, ghost stories are two-a-penny here but am I really cut out to be a detective?Time to put my big girl pants on and hope no one figures out that I'm really a boy.

Why can't I turn down a woman in distress?I just took a case from the tearful, but very rich, widow whose husband supposedly died at the hands of a century-old phantom. He was the owner of Barker Steel Mill and it doesn't take me long to realise that something very weird is going on there.Everyone is lying to me about everything but my toughest test is dealing with the aftermath of my stupid decision to hire Amanda Harper. Not that she isn't talented, intelligent, and capable, because she is. She is also drop-dead gorgeous and massively distracting.She'll prove to be an asset no doubt, assuming we live through the week that is.The paranormal?
