Publisher's Synopsis
Just the thought of a cave is scary.
You know, one with utter blackness and full of bats.
But what about a dead body?
Now, that's really scary!
Did the man's death have something to do with the illegal activities that took place in the cave years ago? Did he die of natural causes, or from an accident, or was he murdered? Driven by curiosity, and in an attempt to learn more about the man who died in the cave, Della talks to a convict, the woman the dead man loved, and a heartbroken sister still grieving over his disappearance. Sheriff Metcalf pleads with Della to leave the sleuthing to him, but she's driven to find out the truth about the man's strange death and disappearance. Seems that the sheriff has a more personal interest in Della, and that's why he doesn't want her involved in the investigation. She might be the next victim!
