Chapter 2 - Contest 2 - Spooooky...ghosts

Congrats to Sandy from Ontario, winner of Contest 1! Her email was randomly drawn from all correct answers to the first contest question.

If Jake gets caught by Constable
Flanagan with the mincemeat  pie that he stole from Harris the Pieman, what's the name of the infamous prison where he will be sent?

Many of you guessed it!
Newgate Prison.

Whoa, look at that old place. I wouldn't want to end up there. But I have feeling Jake just might...

By the way, if you were wondering what the heck a mincemeat pie is, anyway originally it meant simply a potpie with ground beef inside of it, you know, like the crumbly meat on a taco (though not with those spices, of course). They used to blend it with fruit like apples and raisins and various spices. At some point, they took the meat out and nowadays the mincemeat you can buy in jars in specialty shops no longer contains any - it's just the fruity bits. But I digress.

Fear not if you did not win this time. We are back with a new chapter and a second chance to win. Here is your Contest Question for Contest 2. You'll have to read Chapter 2: A Family Resemblance if you want another shot at winning a free, autographed copy of the paperback LOST HEIR. Ready?

How did the old beggar ghost in the alley die?
 
Send in your answer as before. (No repeat winners.) Contest 2 closes on June 22, next Friday. Good luck!
