Knowing that her sister's violent death was no accident, Cindy Toland takes her niece and nephew away in the middle of the night to escape their brutal father, but their father is determined to get them back. Original.

Though it has its shades of supernatural, GHOST LIGHT is more of a thriller than horror. Narratively impressive, it deals with the effect of making bad choices and the degree of which one needs to reach to be set free. Between freshly drawn characters and action-packed suspense, Hautala tells a tale of love, responsibility and forgiveness, forgiveness of others, but more importantly of oneself. Adding to the mix a drop of an unearthly apparition and a full-cup of one nasty nasty villain, and you got one exciting read that will surely please seekers of high tension everywhere.
