Ghost Hunter

Carmel Simpson is having an affair with Carson Wetzel, but this is filling her with guilt because her husband Ash Simpson is a good man. She tells Carson that she wants to end the relationship, renew her efforts to be a loving wife to Ash, and to make her marriage work. Carson begs for just one more day with her ; she agrees. At the end of this special day, he takes her to his home in Ripley, Ohio, where without warning he locks her into a small apartment in his basement, telling her that he just can't let her go. When Ash reports her missing, he becomes a suspect in her disappearance. Carmel, believing that everything she values is lost sinks into suicidal behavior. However, the resident ghost in the house, Tut Jackon, a former river boatman, has other ideas about what she should do with her life. This book is about a ghost who is seeking his lost family, a ghost hunter who is seeking him, a depressed and desperate woman and her struggle for survival, as well as a swamp of personal relationships and how one can get bogged down in it.
