Small-town Wilfred, Oregon, is poised to step into the limelight, and the citizens behind the renovation of the old movie palace--into a brew pub--certainly want that to continue. Until librarian and apprentice witch Josie Way discovers a dead body . . .

Local librarian Josie Way's life is in shambles. Her magical abilities are on the fritz, and her relationship with sexy sheriff Sam has cooled way off since she told him she's a witch. On top of that, Josie senses a bad energy she can't explain, which seems to be interrupting her connection with the spellbound library books, usually her sure-fire way to get to the bottom of any mystery.

When she wakes to a fierce pounding in the library's atrium, she hurries there--only to find a corpse. But after she goes for the phone to call Sam, she returns to the atrium to find the body gone--and all the doors and window are still locked. And that's just the beginning of a mystery that features Josie as the prime suspect, several shady characters, and possible long-lost relatives. It's just like the beginning of an old movie, but Josie will need a lot more direction than her grandmother's magic lessons will provide . . .
