Goodnight, Captain White — Salem's Hysterical History Mystery

This October, Rockafellas Restaurant in Salem serves up a 5-star event for Haunted Happenings—blending an exquisite maritime meal and a notorious Salem murder imagined by the creators of Cry Innocent.

It's 1830, and all friends and well-wishers are invited to attend a retirement party thrown by the fabulously wealthy sea captain Joseph White. But enemies and ill-wishers also arrive dressed to kill and bent on revenge. Who delivers the mortal blow? The beleaguered Daniel Webster must figure out who-dunit and how.
