For example, the latest out of the basement town hall meeting is that the dilapidated house across the street from the elementary school will not be condemned. In fact, a local inspection has proved it&’s structurally sound. Even more surprising, newcomers to Tinker&’s Cove are about to close on their soon-to-be new home. Despite rumors that the house is a haven for ghosts, Ty and Heather Moon soon take residence. But strangely, they&’re not exactly receptive to the town&’s welcoming committee. Odder still are the noises and flickering lights erupting from the house at all hours. And when a local boy goes missing near the house, it&’s up to Lucy Stone to unravel the mystery of the eccentric couple and their increasingly frightful behavior.
