Nick Caden. Teen reporter amateur detective and apparently the only person in Savannah Georgia who thinks it's suspicious when a ghost points at you in a graveyard.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>My neighbor Keisha asked me to watch a séance. That was the whole plan. Watch. Don't say anything. Don't tell anyone. See if the ghost appears then go home.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>I lasted about four minutes.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Keisha's brother Kwame is in prison for a murder she says he didn't commit. The victim was a referee. Stabbed in a boathouse. The kind of case that gets closed fast when the wrong person is convenient. Nobody was looking for a different answer.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Keisha was.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>That's the thing about truth - it hides in plain sight buried under convictions built on bad assumptions rushed conclusions and whoever happened to be standing closest when the gavel came down.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>My new partner on this one is Jaz - part psychic part skeptic completely convinced I'm going to get us both arrested. She's not wrong. Then there's Sistah Séance a fake fortune teller with real secrets. A basketball agent with a lot to hide. And two cops who'd rather close a case than reopen one.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Here's what this story is really about - and I say this as someone who spent three days soaking wet chased by police and accused of things I only partially did. It's about a family that stands by the guilty especially when they're certain of their innocence. Because that kind of faith - stubborn inconvenient costly - is rarer than it should be.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>One more thing. Talking to the dead sounds like a shortcut to answers. It isn't. Trust me on this. There's only one person who ever came back from the grave with anything worth hearing. Anybody else who claims to have a channel to the grave is simply taking your money.</span></p><p></p><p><em style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Mystery of the Eyewitness Ghost.
