Miss Mo LoBeau – half of the (probably) world famous Desperado Detective Agency – is back!  Mo and Dale went famous for about a week after solving a murder in Tupelo Landing, NC – population 148 minus one (murder.) Now sixth grade has started, and for Mo it’s back to being regular.

Regular doesn’t come easy to a girl like Mo.

So when her beloved Miss Lana accidentally buys an inn with an unidentified ghost in the fine print, Mo’s eager to take the case. It’s a case full of tough questions: Who’s haunting the old inn?  And why? And will interviewing a ghost land Mo and Dale some extra credit in history?

Mo and her best friend Dale – aka the Desperado Detectives – set out to solve their second big case only to find out the inn might not be the only thing in Tupelo Landing that’s haunted by the past.

With some unexpected help from the slick new kid in town – Crenshaw, Harm Crenshaw (as in Bond, James Bond) – Mo and Dale discover the truth about a lot of things.

Even themselves.
