A group of wealthy New Yorkers. An interest in the supernatural. A haunted cabin deep into the mountains of Vermont. What could go wrong? When a bizarre summer vacation results in the death of two of the groups’ own, it is left to Detective Pennington Wise to determine if they fell victim to the very ghosts that they were hunting, or to something much more human. Carolyn Well’s twelfth mystery novel and the official introduction of the Pennywise series, clever writing and robust characters make this unmissable for all mystery enthusiasts. Fans of Arthur Conan Doyle will appreciate Well’s intricate details and unbreakable plot.
