A tenacious [...] a suspicious death.

Veronica Vale is a sensible woman. And one thing she doesn't believe in is ghosts! When a renowned paranormal investigator holds a book signing and ghost hunt in her family's pub, the Craven Arms, Veronica is less than amused but accepts their presence, providing they make a sizeable donation to her beloved dogs' home.

Upon receiving an invitation to join the hunt, Ruby and Benji the dog, join Veronica for the evening and creep around the pub, convinced they won't find anything untoward. But when the paranormal expert dies during the investigation, rumours circulate that a ghost committed the heinous crime!

Veronica is certain a human hand was involved and sets forth to uncover the scoundrel and salvage her pub's reputation. With Ruby's help, they uncover rivalry, grudges, and corruption. But which motive led to the spooky demise? And does the pub now have a haunting new presence?
