When Marcie Ducasse, assistant editor of Roaming New England Magazine, makes her first solo trip through northern New England checking into stories of supernatural happenings, she expects to hear some strange tales, not become part of one. But when a farmer tells Marcie about the ghosts of three men hanged in his barn back in the 1940s and then turns up a few hours later hanging up in that same barn, Marcie finds herself up to her neck in a murder investigation. With the help of Kevin Murray, a local newspaper reporter, Marcie begins digging into the case, and she quickly discovers that even murders committed over sixty years ago are not dead and buried--especially when they take the form of ghosts from the past.

From Publishers Weekly

In Ebisch's thoughtful third Marcie Ducasse puzzler (after 2008's Grave Justice), the intrepid assistant editor of Roaming New England Magazine looks into a smalltown coverup of a sadistic multiple murder. Seldon Hayes of Doric, Vt., sends Marcie a tip for her Weird Happenings column about the ghosts of three unpopular young men who were found hanged in his barn in 1944. Sel wants big money to share the scoop on the killer's identity. Marcie's paltry offer leads Sel to another buyer, but Sel's soon strung up in the same devil's spot where the apparitions appear. Marcie pools resources with Kevin Murray, a cute stringer for a Montpelier, Vt.,newspaper, to crack both cases. Doric's police chief, Pat Roylston, resents their interference in his investigation. Sel's legal executor, Steve McDermott, helps Marcie and Kevin locate evidence as the cozy action builds to shocking revelations and a haunting twist. (Oct.)
