The Mortician's Legacy (The Mortician Series)

When Ada, the mortician’s wife, killed him, instead of following the light to everlasting life he chose to remain within the walls of the old mortuary, tormenting first Ada, then every other person who dared to make the building their home. Upon her death, Ada left the building and all of its contents to her dearest friend, Emily, trusting her to find a way to protect others from her husband’s vicious soul. Emily’s first reaction to the fateful legacy she had inherited was to try to forget the building even existed. Unfortunately, it called out to others, intriguing them to try their luck and make it into their home, with dire results. Against her better judgment Emily agreed to sell the mortuary to a young couple who wanted to turn it into a bed-and-breakfast. But only if they allowed her to strip away everything that Horace might have touched while living there. First, she destroyed the furniture that still stood in his former bedroom. She then took every garment that hung in his closet, doubled bagged them and sent them off to the county dump with explicit instructions that none of the bags was to be opened. With his curiosity piqued, the man she entrusted with Horace’s belongings could not resist looking into one of the bags. There, laying at the very top, was a vintage man’s leather jacket, far too special to be thrown away. There was no way the man could have known the jacket he rescued from the dump contained the spirit of one of the most evil men who ever lived. That whoever wore the jacket risked trading souls with one of the most evil men who ever lived.
