About This Book

"I could feel that evil things had happened in this house and that evil people had lived here. Overlaying the chill, the damp, the smell of death and decay, was an overwhelming sense of awareness that evil forces were at work, and had been throughout the centuries."

This is Lorna's first reaction to Maulicrane Farm where whe has come to visit her dying father - a father she has never met. As the days pass, events prove to Lorna that there is still a very real danger at Maulicrane.

At first she believes it is her father who is threatened - kept in a drugged state so that he cannot recover from his mysterious illness. Suddenly she learns that she herself is the target - the intended victim in a terrifying, deadly plot.
