Their latest assignment takes JC and the team to a small country village, site of a famously haunted inn.

Then one story rings true: the tale of a traveler trapped by an unusual thunderstorm who retired to her room for the night-and vanished. Trapped by an unusual thunderstorm-like the one that begins raging outside shortly after they arrive. As the team investigates, they are forced, one by one, to face some hard truths about themselves, their relationships, and the haunting itself-truths that may push Happy Jack over the edge into the madness that he has always feared...Show book
