"Full of supernatural chills...a whodunit equally as thrilling at the surrounding ghost story."  Jeffrey Canton, Quill & Quire

For Nicholas, moving to a new house brings more than its fair share of adjustment. There is the strange graffitti on his bedroom wall, the acrid smell of chlorine at night, the graveyard next to his property, and the secrets kept by neighbors, real estate agents, his parents - the house itself.

Does the stange old woman who talk to herself in the cemetery know more than she can tell? Do the markers on two children's graves offer a clue as to why the spectre of a boy haunts Nicholas' nights? Why does Nicholas feel pain when the boy appears again and again, pleading for help? More importantly, can Nickolas unravel a sinister past before present danger traps him in tragedy forever?
