Number Twelve is an urban legend in 2060 New York City. The hot club in the 1960s, it is now reported to be haunted…and cursed. Lieutenant Eve Dallas is called there to investigate the apparent murder of Radcliff Hopkins, its new owner and the grandson of the man who made Number Twelve a cultural icon. Several bullets from a banned gun end his dream of returning the building to its former glory.

With everyone around her talking about the supernatural, pragmatic Eve won't let rumors of ghosts distract her from hard evidence. The case becomes even more bizarre when it appears to be linked to the suspicious disappearance of a rock star eighty-five years ago. As Eve searches for the connection, logic clashes with the unexplainable. She may be forced to face the threat of something more dangerous than a flesh-and-blood killer.

I picked this book up because Series

What I liked the Most? The snarkcasm that Eve displays

What I liked the Least? Too short

Review: One of the shorts in this series. In this book Number 12 (kinda like Studio 54) is cursed and supposedly haunted. When Eve is called to a murder at Number 12 all evidence points to death by ghost. Eve plays Skully to everyone else's Mulder, but in the end is there a scientific explanation or is a really a ghost?

Recommended to: Fans of the series
