"Haunted Murder"

A Thriller in Two Acts by Brack Llewellyn

The NoneSuch Playmakers welcome you to Goldenleaf, a Virginia hideaway built in the 1940's by tobacco magnate Randolph Swann for himself and his movie star wife, Colleen Sullivan. Cut to the present. Those idyllic days are gone now, and so is Randolph, but Colleen's ghost still walks Goldenleaf's halls and grounds. One fateful August day, the invisible Colleen finds herself the only witness to a heinous plan to commit a cold-blooded murder at her beautiful home. It's a sordid conspiracy of blackmail, deception and unbridled ambition. To help her stop this horrific act, Colleen enlists the only person who can see her, Goldenleaf's young caretaker. Together they must marshall all the natural (and supernatural) forces at their command to prevent this "Haunted Murder!"
