Valley of Shadows — Dorothy Daniels

THE DEVIL'S DISCIPLE.

That's what the townspeople had called Nancy Keith's father when they lynched him many years ago. Now the beautiful schoolteacher had returned to the town of Sycamore to seek vengeance for her father's death. She would prove he had been innocent and that the men who hanged him were murderers.

Yet evil still dwelt in Sycamore, lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to destroy Nancy Keith. And if not for the loving assistance of Doctor David Jordan, Nancy might have given up altogether, fleeing from the terrifying threats on her life, the brutal stonings, the blood-chilling satanic spells. But could David protect Nancy from the web of horror that was slowly entrapping her -- a deadly pattern of malice and murder that might soon claim her for its own?
