  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 . . .

  "I am writing this under an appreciable mental strain, since by tonight I shall be no more."
  H.P. Lovecraft's short story Dagon (1917) introduces several elements of the "Cthulu Mythos", which was to become a significant feature of his writing and was widely influential among other authors of science-fiction, fantasy and horror. It tells the story of a tortured, morphine-addicted man who relates an incident that occurred during his service as an officer during World War I. After his cargo ship is attacked by a German raider, the narrator escapes in a lifeboat, drifting for days until he wakes to find himself stranded on a strange, sun-scorched island covered in putrid, decaying fish and strange scupltures and monoliths—and stranger, nightmarish creatures…
  
  Though virtually unknown and financially unsuccessful during his lifetime, H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) is now regarded as one of the most influential 20th-century writers of supernatural horror fiction. Widely credited with inventing the "cosmic horror" genre—fiction that explores humanity's insignificance in the face of vast, unknowable cosmic forces—he also created the "Cthulhu Mythos", a shared universe of ancient alien beings and forbidden knowledge that has influenced generations of horror and science fiction writers.
