    About this ebook

    May, 2015. New Orleans. Gerard and Suzette Thebeau are the new owners of Cafe Cartier, once known as Cafe Pierre. Before they can open for business, they ask ghost researcher, Lily Duvernay, and clairvoyant, Tony Scot to investigate odd happenings, and hopefully put to rest rumors about the ghost that haunts the cafe:

    More shadows than light filled the small room.

    I sat with my knees bent and feet flat on the hard floor. I reached out across the table. Tony held my hands in his.

    "You're trembling," Tony said.

    "I'm energized, just like the Energizer Bunny, ready to hop to it and keep on going."

    "Okay." He closed his eyes and I did the same.

    Silence inside. Outdoor sounds drifted in. In the distance a police siren headed away. Nearby, a car alarm beeped. In an adjacent neighborhood a dog barked. I tuned out the outside world. Here, in the shadows of this room, silence dominated my thoughts. Then...

    "Music. An old song. Ain't That A Shame. Fats Domino," Tony whispered.

    I concentrated on his voice It was his tone, but not his cadence. Definitely Creole French. Tony's hands were icy cold.

    I opened my eyes. Glistening beads of sweat clustered at Tony's temples. He was oblivious to it.

    "Bad! Bad! Bad!" Tony growled in a voice that was not his own.

    Female voice. Angry. New Orleans accent. Whose personality can this be? I kept my eyes on Tony.

    Silence. Then, a boy's voice floated through the air. I watched as Tony mouthed the words.

    "I dare ya. I double-dog dare ya!" The unseen bully mocked.

    Tony tightened his grip on my hands. His body flinched in violent spasms and then he lurched forward, collapsing on his arms. I jumped up, turned on the lights, and dashed into the kitchen for water.

    When I returned, Tony was sitting upright, wiping away the perspiration on his face and neck.

    I handed him a glass of water. "That was quite some session," I said.

    "Well?"

    First off, you said, "Music. An old song. Ain't That A Shame. Fats Domino. The voice was male and it was French-Creole."

    "That was one of the men who was killed. I sensed it was Rudy Leday."

    "And the song?" I asked.

    Tony shook his head side to side. "Oh, god. Lily, that was the song on the radio the morning the murder happened. Fats Domino singing Ain't That A Shame was the last sound Rudy Leday heard, before he was killed. Rudy was singing that song aloud."

    I had no words.

    Tony took a deep breath, exhaled slowly and asked, "What else?"

    "In a female voice, with a New Orleans accent, you growled, Bad! Bad! Bad! After that, you were silent. Right before you went into a spasm you said in a boy's voice, I dare ya. I double-dog dare ya!"

    Tony shuddered. "Three personalities! And not a one of them was the perp."

    "But we don’t know that," I said.

    Elizabeth Eagan-Cox

    I'm author Elizabeth Eagan-Cox. I wrote the Shannon Delaney paranormal mystery novels, which were published by Write Words, Inc under their two imprints: Cambridge Books (paperbacks) and EbooksOnTheNet(all digital editions). The novels are retailed world-wide, including, here on Smashwords. Additionally, I wrote the popular ghost research guide: Ghost Hunters Research Guide To Free Internet Sources, publisher is Charles River Press. As a paranormal researcher/investigator I often volunteer my expertise to serious ghost hunters. There is more information on my personal web site, where... I will respond to email. I do not reply to messages other than those which are sent via: http://ElizabethEaganCox.blogspot.com In Autumn of 2014 I launched a paranormal mystery novelette collection. I plan to write one or two novelettes per year. Each novelette, while part of a collection, is a stand-alone mystery that is without relevance to other titles in the collection. To date, the titles are: RIVER GHOST, WINTER'S GHOST, HUNGRY GHOST, VOODOO GHOST. These mysteries are sold in ebook formats world-wide, except on Amazon Kindle. For Amazon, the first three titles (as listed above) are in KINDLE ebook format under the collection titled HAUNTED MYSTERIES.
