Tom is about to take his third and final ghosthunting diploma exam, and he is hoping for an easy test. He is dispatched to the misty, gloomy village of Bogpool, expecting a totally standard ghost-catching mission. Instead, Tom walks right into a massive, muddy trap. The entire village is slowly sinking into thick, dark mud, and the creature behind the chaos is far more dangerous than anything Tom has faced before. A beastly, mud-dripping ghost of death has risen from the swamp, and it is angry. Now, Tom must rely on all of his training, wits, and courage to battle this terrifying minotaur of the muck. If he fails, the village is doomed, and he will definitely not be getting his diploma. This intensely spooky and action-packed mystery pushes Tom to his absolute limits. It is a thrilling, messy adventure packed with high stakes, clever ghost-catching tactics, and plenty of creepy swamp monsters.
