There are many ghosts that wander the halls of the Mertland Childrens' Home in Angel Hill. The story of what happened to Carlotta Valdez has grown into legend, but the truth is very, very different. For one angry young woman, Mertland has a way of paying back what's due.

C. Dennis Moore is the author of the novels Revelations, The Third Floor, The Man in the Window, The Ghosts of Mertland and The Flip, plus Return to Angel Hill (co-written with David Bain).
