Pirate ghosts are just legends. Until seei ng one proves fatal.
\nIn 1833\, Irish immigrants are hard at work d igging the New Basin Canal\, a waterway that will connect New Orleans to L ake Pontchartrain. When one of the workers sees a strange blue orb glowing in the swamp at night\, he fears it is a Fifolet (fee-foo-lay) guarding J ean Lafitte&rsquo\;s buried treasure. Legend has it that pirates killed a crewman and buried his body with their loot\, dooming his ghost to stand g uard forever. When the worker turns up dead the next morning\, the men bel ieve the site is cursed\, and Aiden Doyle\, the crew's leader\, must uncov er the truth or risk losing his job. When the newly formed police force re fuses to investigate\, Aiden seeks help from Mary Catherine Whitney\, now renowned throughout New Orleans for her mystery-solving skills after she a nd her husband\, Tobias\, unraveled the secrets of the notorious pirate Je an Lafitte and wrote a popular adventure story about it. She&rsquo\;ll nee d all her cleverness and wit to unlock the secrets of the Fifolet\, and sh e may even need a little help from Lafitte himself. \;
