House of Stolen Memories // Mansion of Lost Memories — Dorothy Daniels

THE MIND THIEF.

Angela Wingate came to Connecticut in search of a new life ... and found unspeakable horror in a small town. Hired as companion to the beautiful and mind-lost Eve van Loon, Angela knew that she must help this young girl back to sanity.

But someone seemed intent on keeping Eve locked in the horrors of insanity ... and that someone was willing to kill to achieve his goal. But who? Was it Willis van Loon, Eve's brother, who seemed determined to lock the world out of his laboratory? Or was it Eve's aunt, Harriet Curtis, who cared only for herself, although she was dependent on van Loon charity for her very comfortable way of life? Harriet's daughter, Susan, seemed to hold little love for her tormented cousin. It could even be -- despite their protestations of love -- Eve's mother and father.

Then someone tried to kill Angela ... and that someone seemed to be mind-lost Eve herself!
