When Cassidy Jacalyn Leslie inherited the Salter River mansion, she thought all she had to contend with were taxes eating up the place and a ghost in the attic...until the death threat came. After receiving a death threat if she does not hand over a mysterious file or twenty million dollars, Cassidy and Adam Lucino follow clues to Gotland, an island off the shores of Sweden. While fleeing from modern-day pirates, they uncover a kidnapping and the fable behind a pirate's secret. During their adventures, Cassidy changes her perception of Adam, the quiet grounds keeper with a lame leg...and then there is the ghost in the attic...and Waldo.
