About this item
The Seance Society introduced mystery lovers to Mr. ONelligan and Lee Plunkett, an unlikely pair of sleuths on an equally unlikely case with a supernatural twist. Having taken over his fathers PI business, Lee enlists ONelligan, a dapper Irishman with a flair for solving mysteries, to help catch a killer. Now, in Michael Nethercotts The Haunting Ballad, this sleuthing odd couple are back in another witty, charming, and wonderfully written mystery, this time set in 1957 in the burgeoning music scene of New York Citys Greenwich Village. Its the spring of 1957, and ONelligan and Plunkett are summoned to New York to investigate the death of a controversial folk song collector. The trail leads the pair to a diverse group of suspects including an eccentric Beat coffee house owner, a family of Irish balladeers who may be IRA, a bluesy ex-con, a hundred-and-five-year-old Civil War drummer boy, and a self-proclaimed ghost chanter who sings songs that she receives from the dead.
