Here’s the set-up for Speed Dating With The Dead by Scott Nicholson, the bestselling author of The Red Church
When Digger Wilson brings his paranormal team, Spirit Seekers International, to the White Horse Inn, he is skeptical that his dead wife will keep her half of the bargain. He doesn’t believe in ghosts, but just before she died, she promised to meet him there.
When one of the conference guests channels a mysterious presence and an Ouija board spells out a pet phrase known only to Digger and his wife, his convictions are challenged.
And when guests start to disappear, Digger and his daughter Kendra must face the circle of demons that view the hotel as their personal playground.
