Last Call in Chicago

By Sara Bourgeois

Before the ghosts. Before the ranch. Before everything changed.

Claire Caldwell has it all figured out. A corner office, a "devoted" fianc , and a five-year plan that definitely doesn't include inheriting a ranch in the middle of the Arizona desert.

Then her boss calls her "redundant." Her fianc calls her "Harmony." And a desperate teenager calls from Perdido Springs, demanding $347.82 for horse feed.

In three devastating weeks, Claire watches her carefully constructed life collapse. The job she gave twelve years to? Gone. The man she planned to marry? Running off with his yoga instructor and her "spiritual energy." The letters from Arizona she's been ignoring? Turns out they're not a scam.

Now Claire owns forty acres, four horses, a herd of stubborn goats, and more questions than answers. Why did her great-aunt leave everything to a niece she met once? Why does Claire keep seeing people who aren't there? And why does she dream of a copper-colored fox with knowing eyes?

She's about to find out that losing everything was just the beginning.

Last Call in Chicago is a prequel novella to Death Rides the Desert, the first book in The Haunted Ranch Mysteries series. Discover how Claire Caldwell went from corporate burnout to ghost whisperer... one terrible week at a time.
