Last summer, Nick Caden became an Internet celebrity for almost a whole day when he discovered Billy the Kid's killer in Deadwood, an Old West ghost town. (Not the real Billy the Kid -- he's been dead for years.) When the owner of the Cool Ghoul Gazette learned of Nick's super sleuthing skills, he hired Nick to investigate the death of a vampire in Transylvania, North Carolina. (Not a real vampire -- there is no such monster, is there?) Then on Halloween night, a zombie snatched Nick's sister. To solve the case Nick turned to the Bible where there are actual stories of the "walking dead."

Now Nick is no longer a super sleuth hero. He's just another undersized fifteen year old trying to settle into his family's new life in Savannah, Georgia. Except when his mom's childhood friend, Isabel Canon, writes to the family saying there is a werewolf running loose in Sleepy Hollow, Nick boards a train headed for New York.

As often happens whenever Nick gets involved in a murder investigation, things start to go wrong as soon as Nick arrives. Mrs. Canon is rich, lives in a castle, and has a daughter Nick's age who wants to help Nick solve the werewolf murders. Nick and Millie, along with her uncle (who lives in an Amish buggy), concoct a plan to capture the werewolf (not a real werewolf -- there is no such monster, is there?) at Raven Rock. But as the last full moon of the month rises over Sleepy Hollow, Nick learns that some monsters are real ... and the worst kind of monster is the one you never see coming.
