Who is the black-veiled girl in the glass? Why has she been spying on their hockey games all week? Does she even exist? When high school goalie, Mick Whitman, catches a glimpse of her in the lavender house across the lake, he's enthralled...like a fool in a macabre rom-com. Is she a hot goth, an old widow, a creepy doll, ghost, or what? His friends have varied opinions, and even his brother, Greg, team captain, sends Mick's hopes into the penalty box! When punk rock Wanda is the only one with guts enough to check, she shimmies up to the flower-shaped window, wipes the glass with her coat sleeve, peeks in.... and yells, "RUN!" As they scatter helter-skelter across the ice, fear pounds their thoughts. What did Wanda see? Next day, Mick enlists his sophomore sister, Sherri, and her best friend, Anna, who always perk up at the word mystery. In a groovy, awesome world before internet, social media, and cellphones, theyhave quite an amateur resume racking up! Mick knows he has the dynamic duo right there and feels better already, even if Greg is still skeptical. But the closer they snoop, the weirder and more chilling the clues become. What will the lavender house reveal next?
