They say bad things come in threes. Usually, they don't mean murder. After several months (and a few murders), Dash is finally starting to feel at home in Hastings Rock. He's enjoying the quiet after the end of tourist season, he's comfortable at Hemlock House (the jury is still out on whether it's haunted), and most importantly, he has friends. Friends, unfortunately, who have a tendency not to take no for an answer. Which is how Dash finds himself at a cold-water surfing competition only a few days before Halloween—and, even worse, attending a costume party at the surf camp later that evening.

But Dash is determined not to let a...

Worse, my mouth and my fingers, too. Locked up in an invisible prison of my own making. And because I'm a stupid idiot, the only person I can blame for my predicament is me.
