Book excerpt: Mysterious screams have been heard coming from the swamps just outside of Lumberville, a small Mississippi town. Lester and Elmer swear it's a ghost (ha'nt), not a love sick fox. "It's a ha'nt for sure." Garret and Megan, two 13 year olds, decide to solve the mystery. They determine that the screams only seem to occur after a loud noise, like a thunder clap or shotgun blast. A complication that doesn't seem to fit is the odd tramp who mysteriously rides in and out of town with worn bags hanging off the sides of on an old bike. He seems to come from someplace around an old abandoned honkytonk by the river, the place Megan's dad was killed some years earlier. And, there is the shack people talk about, the one built by McDonald, an architect from Atlanta. He periodically visited the swamps "re-charge his batteries." Though never found in the tangle of Kudzu vines covering the mountain, it was believed to have been near the river. Garret and Megan learn that investigating is risky when someone wants things kept secret. And, before it's over, they have the adventure of their lives and make a discovery no one could never have imagined.
