Description

Lester Worthy and his wife, Elizabeth, retired from public education after thirty two years to concentrate on their art work. Moving from New Jersey to the quaint, historic Massachusetts town of Wellfleet, Cape Cod, they were looking forward to a fruitful, relaxed life. Little did they know that Lester would come to the attention of several famous and local ghosts, especially the pirate Black Sam Bellamy, Mariah Hallett, a cat named Mikey and many more. His adventure would lead him into a near fatal conflict with the "nearly-immortal" investment firm of Crouch, Diabello, Enoch and Flinch; investment brokers for the dead and "not-quite-dead". Lester, Elizabeth and his partner in the band, WhydahMaker, would be led on an unbelievable journey through the "Here" and the "After". Cape Cod would never be the same, again.
