About This Book
"They told me you are dead. But I can't believe it. I won't! I won't!"
Pippa Kent's discovery, in an old bureau drawer, of these lines written by an unknown girl to her fiancé, set in motion a terrifying train of events that soon brought Pippa to the brink of her own death.
On a weekend visit to the countryside, Pippa learned that the writer of the letter lived nearby. Everyone thought she was a guest in seclusion at grim Havard House, but Pippa managed to see her—and found that she was being held prisoner by an unscrupulous woman and her scoundrel brother in order to gain the girl's inheritance.
What had to be done was horrifying clear to Pippa. But no one—not even the man who loved her—would help her. Friendless and afraid, she was determined to free the girl—even if it meant becoming the next captive of the HOUSE OF MENACE
