The Haunted Child: A completely unputdownable paranormal mystery thriller - Paperback

by Dawn Merriman (Author)

A young mother is being framed for a crime she didn't commit. And only I can free her.

I'm Rylan Flynn. I hunt for ghosts and restless spirits, and solve the mysteries that make them haunt the living.

The police found Andrea Evans with a bloody knife in her hands and her boyfriend dead at her feet. But she swears she's innocent. And I can tell from the desperation in her eyes that she's telling the truth.

I first met Andrea at Camp Lakewood when we were just kids. That summer was meant to be one to remember, with hikes in the forest and canoeing on the lake. Instead, it's one I try to forget.

Because Camp Lakewood is the place I saw a ghost for the very first time-the ghost of a murdered girl.

My long-time crush Ford Pierce was also at camp that year. Today, he is the detective who arrested Andrea. Ford is certain she's guilty and he warns me off. But if he's wrong the real killer is still walking free.

As I begin to investigate, everything seems to lead me back to camp. How is Andrea's case linked to the summer we shared, and to that other killing decades ago?

To free Andrea and reunite her with her child, I must return to Camp Lakewood. Even if that means coming face to face with the darkest and deadliest secrets of my past...

With jaw-dropping twists, mesmerizing suspense, and a touch of romance, the Rylan Flynn series is your new paranormal mystery obsession. Fans of Noelle W. Ihli, Heather Graham and Wendy Wang will be hooked from start to finish.
