When Pat Montella
hears of the death of her Great Uncle Rocco, she heads back to
Norristown, Pennsylvania, her hometown,
for the funeral. Her ninety-one year-old mentor, historian
Miss Maggie Shelby, decides to tag along, not only for the promise
of all the Italian food she can eat (which would have been enough),
but to make a pilgrimage to historic Montgomery Cemetery, where five
Civil War generals are buried.
Pat and Miss Maggie are
barely done their first helping of Aunt Sophie's baked rigatoni when
they discover that Rocco's granddaughter Beatrice can't locate his
money. No one in the family doubts that Rocco had a nice little nest
egg put away, yet his papers and safety deposit box yield nothing.
The duo stays with
Pat's cousin Cella who is renovating the house next door to Aunt
Sophie. After one night, Pat knows the place is haunted. She hears
whispers in the front parlor, and feels an unseen feline brush up
against her legs. A phantom cat? It isn't long before she finds
links between the ghost, Uncle Rocco, the sudden death of the
wealthiest man in town during the Great Depression, and an
eighty-year-old unsolved grave robbery.
An attempted
murder and another death in the family make Pat and Miss Maggie
realize they have to work fast to make sense of those links...before
Montellas become an endangered species.
