Fleming Stone

Behind high stone walls in rural Vermont, a grand country house promises seclusion, comfort-and secrets. When an unexpected visitor arrives with a plausible errand, the household relaxes for only a moment before everything turns wrong. A respected woman is found dead under baffling circumstances, a celebrated jewel is missing, and the visitor vanishes as if the woods swallowed him. Whispers spread about eerie music, shadowed glades, and a place locals call Spooky Hollow. With suspicion tightening around the household and every "e;explanation"e; raising new doubts, an experienced detective is called in to separate superstition from strategy. But in a house built for privacy, which is more dangerous: the rumors of ghosts-or the very human mind behind the crime?
