There's big news in the town of Crystal Cove: A TV show based on the town's mysterious past is filming in the Haunted Village. Many of the hottest teen TV stars are on set.

Daphne is excited; she's been hired as a writer's assistant on the show. Meanwhile, Velma is less than thrilled about all the Hollywood types milling around her parents' property.

But before the shoot begins, Daphne's mom-a producer on the show-starts receiving threatening letters. Next, the sabotage begins. And then, when the showrunner reveals that he's discovered a long-buried secret about the town's past, sabotage turns to theft, then to arson, and eventually to murder.

Daphne and Velma know that digging up the past can be dangerous . . . especially when some families in town have profited from the past for so long. Can they uncover who's behind all this murder and mayhem . . . and discover what secret from the past they're protecting?
