      About This Book

      Death in the Dark

      In one dreadful night, pretty Jenny Hill found that she was the rightful owner of the wealthy Alington estate--and that her aunt and cousin were plotting to see that she never claimed her rights!

      Panicked, she fled--into the arms of a stranger who turned out to be both a distant relative and , in a few short days, the man she loved. Yet the menace she had left behind followed her--and death struck in the dark!

      Sharp-eyed Maud Silver, the prim but implacable spinster sleuth, is at her most brilliant in this electric novel of malevolent crime, terror, and breathless suspense.
