Tracker's Travail: Book the Second in the Topher Trilogy

by James Noll

Ah, Fredericksburg, Virginia. A quaint historical town known for its Civil War battlefields, cozy coffee klatches, antique stores, and zombies.

Years after escaping the horror of Raleigh’s Prep, Topher, Zorn, and Gertrude travel from town to town working as self-proclaimed Transcendental Trackers, ridding the world of ghosts, ghouls, and other supernatural filth (no lost puppies or kittens, plz). Arriving in Fredericksburg, Virginia just in time to stop a Class IV CZA, our heroes quickly find themselves embroiled in various other misadventures, including freeing an elementary school from the grip of a power-mad secretary, stopping a squid monster lurking in the ancient tunnels beneath the city, and coming face to face with their greatest nemesis The Connoisseur.

Who would have thought such a pretty little town could be so lethal?
