  Salem, Massachusetts, B&B owner Charlene Morris will need the luck of the Irish—and the help of a ghost—to unveil a hooded killer . . . 
   
   
   
  Charlene has hired a van to ferry her B&B guests to an all-you-can-eat corned beef and cabbage dinner hosted by Salem's Irish community at the Ancient Order of Hibernians club—but she should have booked a hearse. It's never a good sign when the family black sheep drunkenly crashes a party by punching the guy dressed as a leprechaun. But things go from troublesome to fatal when Charlene stumbles upon a second brawl in an upper room—and this fight Connor Gallagher loses, his anonymous assailant rushing past Charlene, hidden by a hoodie. 
   
   
    
  Now Detective Sam Holden has another homicide on his hands, with Charlene as the only eyewitness. Even if she can't give the police sketch artist much to go on, Charlene is determined to ID the murderer, with the help of Dr. Jack Strathmore, the charming ghost who haunts her B&B. The answer lies in the motive, and to uncover that sleuth and spook will need to shine a light on Connor's shady past—before the killer pulls another Irish goodbye . . .

  OPM or Office of Personnel Management is the third book of the Davis Trust novels.  This letter and book are for the beneficiary of the Davis Trust.   
  I wrote the following book to help you understand what your mother or grandmother and I have attempted to accomplish.  Our mission is to convert evil to good or do good. 
  In helping the helpless, I made enemies, formidable enemies.  At times, I felt like evil was ever-present in and around us.  My enemies pursued, overtook, and were close to killing me when unknown persons kept me alive.  I survived and helped a few others from impending death by my enemies with hope, love, and eliminating my enemies before they eliminated me. 
  There are good friends, acquaintances, and strangers helping me discover tidbits concerning the evil pursuing me.  
  The three trustees legally bound to steward the trust had a hard time convincing me the businesses and mega-money in the Davis Trust were real.  To persuade me the Davis Trust is authentic, the four of us developed a plan to improve the productivity of federal employees.  We presented the proposal to the President of the United States.  The President said yes to funding, and the Federal Efficiency and Effectiveness Team (FEET) with Special Agents began. 
  Your mother and I invested two years finding and training ten FEET Special Agents and 57 support staff.  This book focuses on one Agent, Miley Serna.  Her assignment was to improve employee productivity with less management and supervision interference at the Office of Personnel Management.  Miley discovered a lifelong love, stumbled onto illegal second jobs, and exposed a corrupt, traitorous Congresswoman. 
  This book demonstrates how to use the Davis Trust to turn evil into good, do worthwhile acts of love, and find a few remarkable lifelong friends and business partners. 
  I continue to learn how evil corrupts, and good creates hope, and hope realized. 
  Kazz and I forever love you.  Forever hope, Jedediah Justin Davis Jr
