Rumor has it a secret code, trapped within the books' leather-bound pages, leads to buried treasure. Well, it looks like they got the <i>buried</i> part right--because, as Pen sells off the valuable volumes, everyone who buys...dies. <p/> Once these books go missing from their owners' cold hands, Pen will need resident ghost and hard-boiled P.I. Jack Shepard to help crack the case. The police are skeptical that the deaths involved foul play--so it's up to them to unravel these shocking endings...<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>The Ghost and the Dead Man's Library</i></b> <p/> "I love this series.
