The Suicide Lake (Book of Shadows 2)

Abigail Jacobs is a ghost-hunting witch. Haunted by a tragic past, she also drinks, swears, and has questionable relationships with unsavory men. For years she has maintained her secret, living a double life as a schoolteacher in a posh 19th-century Boston neighborhood. But when her estranged sister arrives on her doorstep begging for help, Abigail must make a perilous journey into the heart of the Adirondack Mountains where a malevolent force is driving the residents of a remote logging town to take their own lives. Determined to put an end to whatever terror is preying on the village, she forms an unlikely partnership with a young pastor, Father Carnes. Together with her brother-in-law, Duncan, and a roguish lumberjack named Colvin, she unlocks a dark secret that could be the key to defeating an evil more ancient and powerful than any she has encountered. But the superstitious villagers don't take well to her unusual methods. Time is running short, and if Abigail doesn't work quickly, she could very well be hanged by the same people she is trying to save.
