Lynx Leap

"Drumbeats in the empty forest. No drummer: just drums. Night falls, and the drums beat, and a shadow comes creeping out of the woods... That's how the killing starts."Linnet shrugs off the lurid stories about Lynx Leap. But she's a guest in the huge, decaying house in the north woods, and it's hard not to get spooked. Especially at night, when she hears drumbeats, and voices crying. And when something stalks her in the stairwell and in the attic, with its menagerie of stuffed dead animals.Her friend Mark is chasing other shadows. He believes his beloved Great-Uncle Lot, the last owner of Lynx Leap, was murdered. Before he died, Lot tagged Mark to find the truth behind the horror stories. Horrors that really happened, scattered across time, but with oddly similar details.Digging deep, the two teens unearth an ancient crime that still has to be paid for. Lot's murder was the shock that woke the sleeping hunter. Unless they can end the cycle of death and vengeance, it's all about to happen again.
