Lacy and David Taylor buy a houseboat at a charity auction, although neither of them knows the first thing about boating. Lacy feels that "it'll be a brand new adventure for us – owning a boat. We'll have a wonderful time."<br><br>When they find a harbor to moor their boat, they also meet the boat's previous owner and his new wife, Frank and J.J. Patterson. The four of them soon become fast friends, even though Lacy is a little concerned about the attraction between her husband and the previous owner's new wife.<br><br>As they learn about their boat and the harbor they're in, Lacy and David also learn something else: their boat is haunted, and their lives are in jeopardy.<br><br>…"A ghost haunting the claustrophobic confines of a houseboat is a frightening idea…and Sullivan writes well enough to make sure you believe it."
