The Dark Summer — Nancy Buckingham

Rhoda Galbraith was dead...

Beautiful, self-involved, evil -- Rhoda had died in a fire, leaving Mark, her husband, free to marry lovely Jan Prior.

And then one night Rhoda turned up at Jan's door, very much alive, offering to disappear permanently for a huge sum of money -- in lieu of a shattering scandal.

An hour later someone's fingers tightened around Rhoda's slender neck, stilling forever the words that would have disastrously changed the course of several lives.

The finger of suspicion pointed at Mark and Jan. To clear herself and the man she loved, Jan had to dig out the truth, and in so doing, placed herself squarely in the path of a homicidal madman.
