The Year of Past Things: A New Orleans Ghost Story

Award-winning chef Phil Randazzo, owner of the trendy Tasso Restaurant in New Orleans, and his new wife, Michelle, are as happy as can be. Michelle's kids, Cam and Nicole, want Phil to be their new father even though they still miss their first dad, A. P. Savoie, a popular Cajun musician who died in a car crash. But it's hard for Phil to concentrate because weird things are happening: The cat suddenly has the ability to walk through locked doors, and the ghost of A. P. Savoie appears at will. Savoie's presence becomes stronger and stronger until the couple asks for help- psychics, exorcists, and local "experts" are consulted, yet no one can save Phil from this pesky ghost. Phil knows that if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, but he's not ready to meet his maker yet.
