Théo, a superstitious Cajun to his core, has a crucifix, three gris-gris charms, and two pounds of salt. It's going to be a long week.Between an all-knowing neighbor who shows up with gumbo, lost tourists ringing their doorbell at midnight, a murder concealed for a century, and a dangerous Parisian accomplice who breaks into the house in the dead of night — the two detectives must survive the week. The house. Each other. And New Orleans itself.Ghosts on Duty is a crime comedy that proves you can be genuinely terrified while laughing out loud.
