She couldn't see Bella, but she heard her warning, crystal clear: "It's not over."

In C. A. Varian's sixth gripping installment of the Hazel Watson Mystery Series, "The Spirit Collector," readers are once again immersed in a world where the living and the dead intersect.

Hazel possesses a unique gift-the ability to communicate with the departed, especially her beloved friend, Candy.

However, in this chilling tale, Bella, whom Hazel connects with in the darkness, has disappeared, throwing New Orleans into a spectral crisis. The spirits that once haunted the city's streets are vanishing, leaving an eerie void in the supernatural tapestry.

As Hazel grapples with Bella's disappearance, she stumbles upon a sinister force at play. A dark malevolent presence conducts ominous rituals to control the spirits, coveting Bella's unimaginable power, even greater than Hazel's, to obstruct spirits from crossing over.

Now, Hazel must navigate the shadowy labyrinth of New Orleans' ghostly underworld to save Bella and unravel the sinister plans. Time is running out, and the fate of the spirit world hangs in the balance. In "The Spirit Collector," Hazel Watson's abilities face the ultimate test as she races against the clock to prevent a spirit apocalypse that could plunge New Orleans into eternal darkness.
