When the residents of Tiger Beach Village claim to be visited by a ghost Jake, Peter and Ruby decide on a stake-out to see if they can catch the ghoul. Their surprise to find that the 'ghost' is definitely not dead soon turns to determination to figure out who it is and what they want.

Hair of the Skeleton is the first in the new Network Mysteries series by Pamela Freeman. The young sleuths solve the mysteries they encounter with high technology - robots, biosensors and digital cameras.

With the use of this technology, the stories will appeal to most youngsters, especially gadget-lovers and mystery enthusiasts.
