The ad was sketchy. Mountain cabin available-Aug, Sept, Oct. Isolated, not remote. Close enough to town to be convenient. Lake view. Baldwin Realty and a telephone number. But it was exactly what Phoebe McFannin, mystery novelist, had in mind. She was so tired of her neighbors noisy grandchildren. The air conditioning didnt cool her entire apartment. Summer was becoming unbearable. Phoebe signed the three-month lease and moved into the little mountain cabin on August 1st. Hopefully, being away from the city noise and heat would give her the energy to meet the mid-September deadline of the fi rst ten chapters of her latest book. The cabin appeared to be everything Phoebe had hoped. The view of the lake was beautiful. The mountain air was refreshing. It was isolated, it was quiet, it was cool. What she didnt know, it was haunted.
