      Chapter 1

      Hey, Sue, it looks like some kind of secret door in the back of this cupboard, Eddie said, kneeling on the kitchen floor, trying to see past the flickering light of his candle. The shelf was not fastened down so he lifted it, tilted it and removed it. With the shelf no longer holding the panel in place it came out easily, with a bit of persuading using the point of a paring knife.

      Fifteen minutes ago, right after the power went out, Eddie Harmon and his wife Sue took their one candle and discovered that the backup generator happened to be missing a spark plug. They had borrowed the small, two bedroom house on Tibbles Lake for the weekend from their friend, Sam Campbell, who always referred to as his little cabin on the lake, even though it was as large as many houses in town and was equipped with every modern convenience, most of which could not be used without electricity.

      They were searching every nook and cranny for more candles when they found the secret door. In the narrow space between the studs stood a cardboard box about a foot square and two inches thick. Eddie hooked his fingers over the top of the box and pulled it out to reveal four candles standing there. Grabbing them he said, Jackpot, and withdrew from the cupboard.

      He handed the candles to Sue and picked up the box.
