Blasts of freezing wind whipped Annette's face and hands as she fell onto the snow. "We should'a just left 'em in there," snarled Chad. "No one knows about the pit." "We're takin' 'em along," insisted Buck. "We'll find some other way to dispose of 'em once we're through with 'em." "His sadistic laugh sent a shock of horror up Annette's spine." When Annette and Penny agree to babysit the Randt children while their mother is in the hospital with the new baby, a freak November snowstorm keeps them at the farm for the entire Thanksgiving weekend. And as if poachers during hunting season aren't annoying enough, a "ghost in the attic" has everyone on edge... Spending an extra night in Pete Randt's house is Annette's chance to prove the identity of the mysterious Man with the Lantern, whether he's human... "or a ghost." This is the fourth Annette Vetter mystery in the Sixties era series set in rural west-central Wisconsin.
