The house was so still... Former teacher Sam Ford was on the road to nowhere when he chanced upon the New Jersey shore town of Cape May. Then the owners of the Abbadon Inn-a historic B & B under restoration-made him an irresistible offer:free room and board and a salary to home-school their troubled son.

You'd think that everything was at peace, but Sam wonders if he should have kept traveling. The odor of decay hangs in the air, an icy chill sweeps through the third floor, and human bones are unearthed on the property. Then Sam finds his name in the original Abbadon registry among the earliest guests.

It's Not. It wasn't chance that brought Sam to the Inn. It was fate, reaching out from the past when his ancestors lived-and died-in chains. Now they want something from him. And that something may be his life.

The Abbadon Inn is back in business.

A really good book that is filled with suspense and surprises that you don't see coming.
