Are the lights under the lake...that strange little girl...that haunting music...are they hallucinations or warnings of danger...

This book was soooooooo good!!! A writer moves into a small cabin by a lake in order to work on his latest book. He soon finds himself seeing apparitions of a little girl in his cabin and a house out in the lake. Why are the townspeople, especially the sheriff and the town's founder so wary of him? Who is the little ghost girl? Not only does this book have the supernatural element, it also has murder, drug dealers, and dirty cops. A stellar book!

This is part mystery, part ghost story. What are the lights under the lake? Are the rumors of corruption,incest and cruelty long ago true? It's not just another story....it will stay with you.

My first Stuart Woods book and I was not disappointed! Very well written, it's one of those stories that keep you reading. The characters are real with flaws just like anyone else, and the story is really believable.
A real page turner! I loved it!

An okay story that evokes the small town in Georgia well. The main character is someone I lost patience with over his boozing (as another, wise, character remarks on). My main issue with it didn't come until very near the end when an outlandish coincidence is sprung on the reader. The supernatural aspect is pretty much underplayed in favor of a plot about trying to uncover shady goings-on by a prominent figure in the town.

One of my favorite Stuart Woods stories. Starts slowly, but then the intensity builds, until it ends with a great twist. I was expecting it to be a lot scarier, but it was no scarier than most thrillers.

Pretty good read. I usually enjoy Stuart Woods' books and this was no exception.

This is one of the best books I have read. It has ghosts, detectives, and lots of mystery. It kept me on the edge of my seat to the very end.
