Synopsis
**A handsome stranger. A dead billionaire. A citywide treasure hunt. Tuesday Mooney's life is about to change…forevermore.**
Tuesday Mooney is a loner. She keeps to herself, begrudgingly socializes, and spends much of her time watching old *Twin Peaks* and *X-Files* DVDs. But when Vincent Pryce, Boston's most eccentric billionaire, dies-leaving behind an epic treasure hunt through the city, with clues inspired by his hero, Edgar Allan Poe-Tuesday's adventure finally begins.
Puzzle-loving Tuesday searches for clue after clue, joined by a ragtag crew: a wisecracking friend, an adoring teen neighbor, and a handsome, cagey young heir. The hunt tests their mettle, and with other teams from around the city also vying for the promised prize-a share of Pryce's immense wealth-they must move quickly. Pryce's clues can't be cracked with sharp wit alone; the searchers must summon the courage to face painful ghosts from their pasts (some more vivid than others) and discover their most guarded desires and dreams.
A deliciously funny ode to imagination, overflowing with love letters to art, from *The Westing Game* to Madonna to the Knights of the Round Table, *Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts* is the perfect read for thrill seekers, wanderers, word lovers, and anyone looking for an escape to the extraordinary.
