If you like Sherlock Holmes, and The Alienist (though this is a much lighter version), then this book is for you. Just add in a touch of the supernatural. It's a mystery. It's a horror/ghost tale . . . Eight children are found hanging in a tree at dawn, just dangling in the quiet morning. Well, only seven of the children are still hanging--one dropped to the ground. Years go by with no one knowing what actually happened. Dr. Benson mentions the incident to his friend MacCallum over dinner one evening. They set out to find answers. They do, but so much more gets revealed.
