THE GHOST AND MAX MONROE

CASE #3 THE DIRTY TRICK

WRITTEN BY L.M. FALCONE

“I really need your help!” said the woman on the phone. “A note has been slipped into my purse. It says, ‘Beware ... a dirty trick!’” Max Monroe can't believe Rhonda Remington, his favorite author, is calling the Monroe Detective Agency looking for his help! It's hours before Rhonda competes for a spot in the Mystery Hall of Fame, and she's desperate to find out who wrote the note and what they have in store. Max and his detective partner, the ghost of his Uncle Larry, take the case, but can they help Rhonda in time?
