Book Description: A casket full of drugs and money inside the Pick'n Pay in Forsyth, Georgia, plus a ghost, put dissimilar sisters and a DEA agent in jeopardy.

Short Synopsis: Sisters, Helen and Mavis, are at odds on how to help a "young thing" protect herself and her job at the Pick'n Pay in Forsyth, Georgia. Cameras are installed and calamities happen even before DEA Agent Daniel Mc Murphy, AKA Dewey Blackmon, arrives on a motorcycle and complicates matters with his spunky African-American truck-driver girlfriend, Cora Justin Dupont.

Wanda, the ghost, acts as an opinionated narrator with good intentions and helps the sisters pass along important intel to Dewey, who is undercover as a biker working in a Harley-Davidson body shop. He and his DEA squad want to take down a drug pipeline operating off I-75. A funeral parlor director and his ex-wife are just two of the "bad guys" Wanda can hear talking through the phone lines and portable phones. Small-town America is rocking and rolling in criminal activity in Forsyth, Georgia. There isn't any shortage of murders, but good-hearted people and a ghost save the day.
