Waiting for Willa — Dorothy Eden

Set in Stockholm, it features an alluring and hauntingly beautiful English girl enmeshed in the tangles of international intrigue.

"Wilhelmina" is the simple signature at the bottom of a letter from Willa Bedford, but to her cousin, Grace Asherton, it has ominous overtones. A nearly forgotten schoolgirl's game, it is the long-standing signal for alarm agreed upon long before Willa went to Stockholm to live. Grace takes the coded message seriously and wires her cousin that she is on her way.

What follows is a perilous search through the fascinating night world of Stockholm. Romance, terror, and a succession of shocking surprises await Grace -- and the reader -- as the pieces in the puzzle gradually fit together.
