Maddie's Ghost

Twelve-year-old Madeleine "Lainie" Stanton is about to make headlines. She was the first baby born at the new millennium, and a local TV station wants an interview. But when the reporter uncovers the dark history of Lainie's great-grandmother Maddie, who was executed for murder, the interview takes a dangerous turn.

Determined to clear her ancestor's name, Lainie and her two best friends embark on a thrilling race against time. Following clues left by Madeleine herself, they unravel a shocking mystery that has been buried for decades.

A must-read for fans of The Parker Inheritance and The Dollhouse Murders. A story with heart, humor, family, friends, and a twisty old mansion, from the award-winning author of Eddie's War and The Bridge Dancers.
