<DIV><b>A widow meets a ghost with an appetite for treasure, liquor, and revenge </b></div><DIV><BR></div><DIV>Zilla Trott is pouring her cat some chamomile tea when the drifter appears in her kitchen. He is grubby and crude&mdash;not at all the kind of person you&rsquo;d usually find in the pleasant town of Lobelia Falls&mdash;but something about him intrigues the aging widow. Perhaps it&rsquo;s his rugged good looks, or the way he seems to come from another time and place. Or perhaps it&rsquo;s the fact that he&rsquo;s been dead for nearly a century. </div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>When Lobelia Falls was in its rough-and-tumble frontier infancy, Hiram Jellyby was the best mule driver the town had ever seen, until an argument over a hidden cache of gold left him bleeding to death in a back alley. He returns in spectral form to secure a proper burial, and finds that in modern-day Lobelia Falls, no one knows more about turning the soil than Zilla Trott&rsquo;s gardening buddies&mdash;all members of Dittany Monk&rsquo;s fearless Grub-and-Stake Gardening and Roving Club.</div>
