For two years Shirle Klein was in contact with her alien friend. Before Frank left, he gave her physical proof -- something few contactees can claim. This is the unusual and intriguing true story of Shirle Klein-Carsh, Canadian surrealist artist and ufologist, whose internationally recognized paintings have been shown throughout the world. Unlike many others who claim contact with extraterrestrials, Shirle deeply cares about humanity, and her love for the Creator is so great that the aliens entrusted her with an important assignment to be fulfilled in the coming of the New Age.

Blasts of freezing wind whipped Annette's face and hands as she fell onto the snow. "We should'a just left 'em in there," snarled Chad. "No one knows about the pit." "We're takin' 'em along," insisted Buck. "We'll find some other way to dispose of 'em once we're through with 'em." "His sadistic laugh sent a shock of horror up Annette's spine." When Annette and Penny agree to babysit the Randt children while their mother is in the hospital with the new baby, a freak November snowstorm keeps them at the farm for the entire Thanksgiving weekend. And as if poachers during hunting season aren't annoying enough, a "ghost in the attic" has everyone on edge... Spending an extra night in Pete Randt's house is Annette's chance to prove the identity of the mysterious Man with the Lantern, whether he's human... "or a ghost." This is the fourth Annette Vetter mystery in the Sixties era series set in rural west-central Wisconsin.
