Description
The villagers whispered about it in the square, in the shops, in the saddlery and the blacksmith...about Jonathan Matthew and about Baker's Hill Road where they found the ax...about what they'd seen on the road to the village, and what was in the pond. With their eyes shifting and cautious, heads barely apart, the villagers whispered back and forth...about Jonathan Matthew...especially about the curse.
When Veronica, Ben, and Eddy go to England while Veronica's mother restores an old church, they discover more among the ruins than crumbling stones. The eight hundred-year-old ghost of a boy is the key to lost treasure. But someone is watching and he will do anything--even murder--to get to it first.
