A dead treasure hunter. A mystery illness. And the world's worst Valentine's Day.

There's treasure in the hills surrounding Naghatune Bay. But the small coastal town of eccentric citizens and magickal secrets isn't fond of outsiders, and no one's happy about the attention brought by the discovery.

When a treasure hunter ends up dead in the middle of Suri Mudge's teahouse, the reluctant medium is the prime suspect. Misfortune goes from bad to worse when the snooty antiquities expert examining the curious cache dies, too—at the same time a mysterious sickness begins spreading through the town. With the deputy sheriff in the hospital, the locals don't know where to turn for help.

But Suri is no stranger to suspicious deaths or cranky ghosts. As the only person who can communicate with the recently departed, she might be the town's sole hope for solving the murders and saving her neighbors.

Tainted Treasure is the third book in the Haunted Coast paranormal cozy mystery series, set in the same universe as the Rune Witch urban fantasy books. Readers who like spirited ghosts, quirky characters, and magickal mysteries will love the Haunted Coast books!
