A witch bottle in a dead man's hand and a Mystic's End councilman shot dead present a challenging case for Fortuna. As she begins to feel optimistic about her magical growth under Miss Bessie's guidance and her coven of ghost witches, other lives around her are also improving. Martin is successfully finding homes for retired greyhounds, Gabe is thriving in his new private eye role, and Pepper is gaining respect as an investigative reporter, much to Ollie's delight. However, when Councilman Conrad Noble is found dead in his office with a witch bottle, Fortuna must act quickly to solve the murder. The only way to retrieve the bottle from the magically-warded evidence basement is to uncover the truth behind the murder. Fortuna faces the daunting task of solving the case, keeping the bottle's existence hidden from Chief Clutterbuck, and freeing the ghost trapped within it. Will she succeed, or will the bottle and the witch remain lost in the department's basement forever? This installment is a humorous, full-length paranormal cozy mystery, part of a series that promises more adventures in Mystic's End.
