Ghost Motel

Tourists check in, but they don’t check out…

Wanting to spend one last summer weekend with his family, Detective Jude Byrne books them into a four star hotel on Maine’s beautiful rocky coast. Unfortunately, when Jude arrives, he finds the name of the hotel is Four Star and the motel itself looks the same as it did when it opened in 1976. It’s a dump and no one wants to stay the night, especially after the owner tells them its haunted by Cyrus Longfellow; a notorious playboy who was found robbed and murdered in his room back in 1994.
Psychic Cope Forbes spends the first night in the room Cyrus died in, listening to strange sounds, not knowing if they’re coming from the decrepit motel, the ghost himself, or his husband who over did it at the all you can eat lobster buffet. Feeling as though the ghost deserves a happy ending, Cope digs in, hoping he can contact the spirit to find out who killed him and get Cyrus to cross into the light, all before their last weekend of fun comes to an end.
When Cyrus refuses to name his killer, Cope is at a complete loss. He’s never encountered a spirit who didn’t want his murderer brought to justice. According to the strange spirit, he’s having the time of his life being more infamous in death than he was in life. With the colorful locals placing bets on whether or not Cope and Company can solve the Case of the Penniless Playboy, it’s a race to the finish to find out who murdered Cyrus before the killer can strike again.
