DOWNLOAD EBOOKAfter the wild time the gang had in "The Zeros and The Man Who Could Not Die," it's pretty understandable that the guys need a vacation. Where do they go? No, not the Jersey shore. What's better than the Jersey shore? Obviously the Delaware beaches (cue Delaware joke). Everything is hunky dory until the crew learns that children are disappearing, and a trail of breadcrumbs is leading towards a shadowy witches' coven that would rather conduct their business unnoticed. New friendships are forged, old ones are tested, and a few familiar scoundrels may just make an appearance before the Zeros figure out what's rotten in the state of Delaware…

Is it one of the Footlighters? Or is it an outsider?
