This book is written as a guide book to the haunted places of the Hudson Valley.

Each year, hundreds of New Yorkers disappear under mysterious circumstances never to be heard from again, with their families and loved ones waiting painfully, as the years crawl by, for some word of what happened to them.

Sixteen-year-old Gus Woodard is about to live the best summer of his life. Then something goes terribly wrong.

In 1955, small-town police chief Art Moran is thrown into a world of danger and mystery when he is tasked with solving a gruesome murder in an isolated mountain cult. Despite feeling out of his depth, he becomes the only person the cult members trust. But things take a turn for the worse when, in a single night, Art loses everything he holds dear, including his love, his son, and even his sanity.
