Cellar Ghost — Stephen Hawley Martin

In this thriller of a romantic suspense novel, the heroine, Rebecca, is convinced something dreadful must have happened in the cellar of the old house in Baltimore where she lived as a child so long ago. She can feel it make her skin crawl. Could a body be buried there? The body of her mother? Or maybe, just maybe, it's her ghost. All her life, Rebecca has wanted to find out what made her mother suddenly vanish. Now Rebecca must find out, or face terrible consequences. As luck would have it, she stumbles on a lead, begins to follow it, and quickly discovers someone wants desperately to keep the past buried. The person obviously is willing to do whatever is necessary to prevent her from learning the truth. But Rebecca will not be deterred. She embarks on a suspense-filled quest laced with action and romance as she and her handsome companion travel halfway around the world and into harm's way. Cellar Ghost was written by Stephen Hawley Martin, the only three-time winner of the Writer's Digest Book Award, which he has won twice for fiction and once for nonfiction.
