The case

\n

Something eerie has happened at Lindenhof. On the morning before Halloween, the old tack room stands open. A lantern is burning, though no one admits to lighting it. Strange hoofprints lead through the stable – straight to a door that's been locked for twelve years. Was it really the legendary ghost horse? Or is someone else behind it? Careful: not everyone is telling the truth.
