"Readers will love returning to Bicklesburg and spending time with Marti Mickkleson and the quirky ghosts in Old Bones, New Ghosts!" Valerie Burns, author of Two Parts Sugar, One Part Murder Marti Mickkleson and her ghostly Grandma Bertie are back! With only one month to go until Marti meets the conditions of her late father's will and gains control of her trust fund, she's determined to be on her best behavior. No admitting that she can see ghosts and certainly no talking to the dead. But her mother's roped her into a new family project, her new office has a mysterious haunt, Grandma Bertie's digging up mysteries from the past, her friend Dmitri's barely speaking to her, and her sister's life is falling apart. It's enough to make a girl miss her days of flipping sort-of-beef patties on a Burger Buster grill. Then things get really bad. With both a cold case and a new murder on her hands, her "best behavior" won't cut it. Protecting her family may cost her more than a trust fund. It may cost Marti her life-or the life of someone she loves. Join Marti and Grandma Bertie in the follow-up to Ghosts in Glass Houses!

Book Description
Marti Mickkleson sees ghosts. Only her great-grandmother believes her. Since she died the day before Marti was born, her support isn't worth much in the world of the living. When Marti wakes up in a compromising position with her estranged father standing over her, she thinks he owes her a big apology. After all, he's dead and talking to her-and she talks back. Instead, he claims he was murdered and demands she go home and do something about it. She agrees-anything to get her father out of her life and into his own afterlife. In Bicklesburg, she finds her once formidable mother in the throes of dementia, her perfect-prom-queen sister now a lawyer married to a not-so-perfect man, and her bad-boy high school boyfriend a private security guard watching over the family fortress. When her mother wanders away and is found cradling a bloodstained garden gnome, she and Grandma Bertie must uncover a murderer before Marti ends up a ghost herself.

Book Description
It is 1958 and the Phelan clan has gathered to hear Peter Phelan's will, read by the living Peter himself, an artist whose paintings about members of the family have given him belated critical recognition. The paintings illuminate the lives of his brother Francis (the exiled hero of Ironweed), and a family ancestor, Malachi McIlhenny, a true madman beset by demons, and determined to send them back to hell. Orson Purcell, bastard son of Peter, and half-mad himself, encounters his first true solace through this obsessive and close-knit family he has never quite entered; most especially through his Aunt Molly, whose intense love affair holds secrets that only another love can resurrect. It is through Orson's modern eye that we see the tragedies, obsessions, and clandestine joys of this singular family. This is climatic work in William Kennedy's Albany Cycle, riding on the melody of its language and the power of its story, which is full of surprise, comedy, terror, and earthly delight.
