Con-artists are a notoriously skeptical bunch, and Dennis Gufehautt is no exception. His scheme of masquerading as a paranormal investigator seems foolproof… until he encounters an actual ghost haunting an antique armchair. Having unwittingly become embroiled in a decades-old mystery, Dennis finds himself stumbling headfirst into bizarre and often hilarious situations as he tries to solve a legitimate case. Pursued by an overzealous private detective and driven to befriend a cast of memorable characters – from a perpetually-smoking matron to a charismatic shaman – Dennis works to exorcise the haunted furniture and return his life to a state of moderate normality.
