All she needs to get a head in this world is a shovel, a pickaxe, and an alibi.

In a world where crypts, secret passages, and broken cell phones are occupational hazards, psychic medium Fia, her cantankerous mentor Cam, and canine Psychopomp Zackie face another haunting challenge. When they encounter the headless spirit of a Jacobite hero, they embark on a mission to save this cursed soul from wandering the Scottish Highlands for all eternity. But their quest for his missing head is snookered by gaps in the historical record, not to mention modern British security systems that could net them more police attention than a chip shop.

Their search is complicated by a death mask inhabited by the spirit of a Chevalier, a complex and intriguing figure from the past. This enigmatic presence could hold the key to their mission or may be manipulating them for its own ends. An old enemy of the Chevalier puts Fia and her friends in the crosshairs, adding a dangerous twist to their already perilous journey.

As Fia and Cam struggle with clues from long ago to guide their search, they rely on the support of their friends, both living and dead, to unravel the mystery. But how can they succeed when the trail they must follow is colder than a cast-iron commode?

For fans of CBS and BBC One’s Ghosts, history enthusiasts, and anyone who has ever loved a dog, the Zackie Stories offer a thrilling adventure through time and the supernatural.

The Fifth novel of the ZACKIE STORIES.

    5th book in the series and I hope it’s not the last!
    Flawed lovable characters with an interesting take on paranormal phenomenon, ghosts and the next life. I have difficulty stopping reading to join the real world. I recommend this book and the previous 4. Witty, snark, and historical information are part of the charm!

    The excitement of Zackie stories just gets better and better with each new book. When the group lands in Scotland, the descriptions of the locales almost made me feel the curling fog or the cold winds sneaking down a chimney. Crawling through the tunnels with Fia made me want to wash off the cold, clinging mud and question her dedication to helping a ghost find his head that had been removed after the battle of Culloden when the British thought they had finally killed Bonnie Prince Charlie. Thanks to The Outsider (Diana Gabaldon's books & subsequent television shows), the history was easy to follow. Poor Roderick who sacrificed his life, and his head, to give Charlie a chance to escape had been roaming Scotland ever since trying to find his prince. Great humor with the mask of the Chevalier, and breathtaking minutes as a murderer chases Fia through the darkness of caves & tunnels surrounded by bodies. Ms Favis does a delightful job of character conversations and interactions. I can't wait for the next Zackie adventure!

    This was a great series too read. A little mystery, ghosts, life, some believable some hmm? interesting possibilities. Book five for me was a bit all over the place but that's okay. I would like to have book six address Fia's love story and back to life in the states. A bit of normal in all their lives, and spirits.

    I have really enjoyed reading about Fia and her "Scooby" crew. The author Reyna Favis includes so many tidbits of history throughout the series. It has been a fantastic read. I am hopeful that Reyna Favis brings the team back to my side of the pond and continues with many adventures in the history of the Americas.

    I found this book interesting. It was very much like a history lesson combined with a ghost story, combined with a mystery. Having watched a few documentaries on the Jacobites and the Bonnie Prince, I could tell that the author did very good research for this book. I really hope that there are more Zackie books coming.

    I can recommend this AND series to anyone. There's a very good story and plot in each book in this series. You don't necessarily have to read them in order, but I certainly recommend reaching the 1st book & then skip around it you'd like. very enjoyable!

    I love Zackie, and I like the other characters, but I'm tired of Hannah, Phebe, McPherson, and especially the baby. They need to move on. I appreciate the links to historical notes at the end. Maybe I'll find time to read them. What really gripes me is bad grammar/misuse or misspellings. Chapter 8 had "unphased" which should have been "unfazed" and I notice a lot of younger authors get it wrong, so I suspect their education. Chapter 9 had "puss" instead of "pus" for the oozy stuff in a sore. Puss is a cat. Other than being tiered of the four spirits, and not caring a lot about the storyline in this book, I will read the next Zackie book. I liked the prior ones better, but I do like that Fia is dealing with her demons and moving on.

    Love this book and the other 4. Zackie is the one I follow as I find her to be plausible and the stories make great reading. Have now read all 5. Hope No 6 isn’t too long in being published.

    5 books in and the cast keeps on growing.
    Over the series so far, there has been an interesting mix of history and fantasy and the author rounds things off nicely each book but with enough to move onto the next book .
