Maryanne Wells, Texas country girl and teenage genius, feels isolated and lost in law school. She finally makes one friend, quirky Naomi O'Conners, but still doesn't feel like she belongs among the older and wiser students. Ghostly shadows and mysterious noises one night in the library change everything. There's a mystery to solve, and Maryanne is on the case. But the monsters in the law school prove too much for even a feisty heroine to handle alone. There's a ghost trapped in a bookcase, zombies pounding at the door, and vampires lurking in the shadows. Maryanne needs a skilled team - the Undead Bar Association - to help her save the students and the law school. With the help of the Undead Bar Association, some Texas sized courage, and a lot of coffee, Maryanne can survive. She might even graduate.
