When Hazel Wilmot calls Amanda Vickers, her former student and
the editor of Roaming New England Magazine, with a story idea about a
haunted New Hampshire inn, Amanda is intrigued, but intrigue soon turns to
shock. Before Amanda can travel to New Hampshire in time, Hazel dies
suspiciously in a fall while exploring the abandoned inn. Amanda quickly
decides to investigate her death. Was it accidental or due to something
more sinister?
Accompanied by Marcie Ducasse, her young associate editor, Amanda travels
to Shadsborough, New Hampshire, a quaint New England town hidden away in
the White Mountains. Though its view of the mountains is picturesque,
Shadsborough is a small town gripped by fear. And it seems to be catching
as Marcie and Amanda discover that neither Hazel's death nor the stories of
the ghostly crying girl at the inn are exactly what they seem.
