Ghost Lookout

When Forest Nelson, an enthusiastic young historian at the Society for Cultural Heritage Preservation, volunteers to lead the effort to restore the Point Lookout Lighthouse, he is oblivious to the lighthouse’s dark past. But after hearing voices calling out to him in the middle of the night and encountering bloodied Confederate soldiers patrolling the lighthouse’s hallways, Forest quickly realizes that something sinister is astir at Point Lookout—something that seeks to expose the lighthouse’s murderous history and bring everything crashing down into a deadly finale. In order to divert disaster and save the lighthouse, Forest must piece together a series of haunting encounters somehow connected to a crazy but generous benefactor at the center of the restoration effort.
