Book Description:
THE MYSTERY DEEPENS

The room was shabby and dirty, heavy with heat. None of the things which Kenny called his own remained. Even the painted walls and skylight were gone.

Baffled, he wondered if other things -- even outside -- had changed. Kenny went to one of the windows and looked down. On a stoop across the dark street a man was standing, gazing straight at Kenny's window. He was wearing what appeared to be a long black cape which reached his knees, and a hat, triangular in shape. Its brim obscured his face.

As if suddenly realizing he was being observed, the man moved quickly into the shadows. Keeping his face averted, he fled up the street.

A good story about a boy helping a ghost


this is a scary but good book, one of my favorites


Interesting; a little eerie; suitable for readers around 10 years old. Book is a historical murder mystery that switches time periods between the prsent and colonial times.
