title: Ghost at the Lake: A Pug Detective Charlotte Mystery
author: Gerry Strong
description: Gerry Strong is author/illustrator of the Pug Detective Charlotte Mystery, Adventure Series and other books. She has a background in art and design. Books just seemed a natural addition to my art. I love writing for children. I want my books to educate as well as entertain. If I can help a child learn to read, I feel successful as an author. Currently, she enjoys writing and teaching yoga in the hills of San Diego County.

  Otherworldly
  Charlotte Perth is all about sass because her job is reminds her all too well the limits of human life.
  She’s clairvoyant, but her gift is unique. She can only summon murdered souls and interprets the
  visions they send her. When she’s hired by a wealthy woman to determine the fate of her great-
  nephew, little does Charlotte realize this is one ghost that refuses to cross over.
  Detective Jonas Daire feels Charlotte is a fake, out to swindle money from his rich aunt. When
  Charlotte proclaims the nephew is not only dead but has been murdered, Jonas feels especially
  disgusted at Charlotte’s “profession.” But when his cousin’s body is discovered in the place that she
  said it would be, with detailed accounts of how he died, he places her under suspicion.
  Jonas and Charlotte work together to find the killer. As the two grow closer together, another
  malevolent force won’t stop until the truth is buried…until Charlotte’s ghostly visions are her own.
