Leigh Koslow doesn’t believe in ghosts, no matter how many people claim to have seen spooky lights and the specter of a Union soldier haunting her neighbor’s farm. But when her children discover a map to buried treasure and the farm’s amiable owner, the captain of a local troop of Civil War reenactors, vanishes without a trace, she begins to fear mayhem of a more earthly--and evil--nature.
