Legacy Of Fear

When Torry Benson was informed that she had inherited an island, she was astounded. Her parents had both been killed and she knew of no other relatives. But her long-lost uncle had remembered her in his will, and Torry found herself the owner of an island paradise. Her job in New York was at a dead-end. She decided to go to her island and make her home there. But a mysterious death, fearful sounds in the night and an attempt on Torry's own life turned her island paradise into an earthly hell. Torry determined that the island was hers--and she planned to insist on her claim as its rightful heiress. With the help of George Willis and at the risk of her own life. Torry proceeded to unravel a mystery involving a large fortune and several frightening deaths.
