A charming lakeside cottage should be the perfect vacation spot for Nancy and her friends — until Bess becomes convinced that theyre sharing the place with ghosts. Strange thumps in the attic put them all on edge — except there is no attic. Even worse, their living neighbors are giving them grief.

Then a surprising discovery reveals a long-lost mystery — and a family secret as black as night.
